How to open a port 24800 to use synergy??

Well... I think port 24800 is firewalled in my linux machine. i tried synergy to sue as a server in linux and doesnt work. i tried from the windows computer and works! So... I telnet (from linux) to an address:
telnet 192.168.0.1 24800 and the time is out (so a firewall is blocking this port).

My simple question:

How do I open this port so i can get the synergy server in my linux box??

What version/distro of Linux?? From your icon, I see SuSE. In that case, go into Yast->Security and Users->Firewall->Allowed Services->Advanced. Enter the port # in there, save, and apply the rules.
