I am running Debian and I am trying to open 3 ports realising I am using iptables I tried the following (as interpreted from a few pages I googled):

iptables -A INPUT -p ALL --dport 3977 -j ACCEPT

but I get the following error

iptables v1.4.21: unknown option "--dport"

But dport is listed in many of the results I googled, has dport been depreciated and replaced with something else??

This is for internal LAN operation not external internet access

Thanks in advance

Tim
