yum -y install nmap if you need the gui then: yum -y install nmap-frontend |
HI,
Okay i installed it,i goto /usr/bin/nmap and from terminal i type namp <myipaddress>,but how do you open say a particual port on your system? Kind Regards, Manish |
Are you trying to run some service on a port? Or perhaps you are trying to forward that port to somewhere else? Please tell us what your goal is, then, we may be able to help.

Hi,
sure,i was trying to forward the port ,since i was keen on knowing what port forwading is and how it works n all those stuff!i am currently using nmap and i wanted to know on how i could forward a particular port to some remote machine! Kind Regards, Manish |
nmap is for checking ports. You need to use iptables or configure your router to open ports.
