827231	2009-11-05 02:00:00	Hi, I did something not very smart. I configured lenny's firewall to only have port 22 open. Now I can't pass thru with tightvnc nor fax nor print. Can anyone help me to open the relevant port on the firewall. I would still like to open ports 22, 80 I guess, ssl, &tc Thanks in advance. :badpc:	andreas.hagen (15380)

If you just want a 'quick fix', then run the following as root (note this will open all ports, turn on packet forwarding, and won't survive a reboot. It won't touch your NAT config, if you have any.) iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT iptables -F iptables -t mangle -F sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 To quickly open just TCP/80 from anywhere use this: iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT	Erayd (23)
