thank you all for the reply. ftp is working fine after adding the iptable rules. now i have started to dig into port forwarding to find ways to make h323, sip work.
we are doing this exercise to bring up a BRAS server (for testing purpose). its in this server we are adding the firewall rules to make ftp, sip, h323 etc work. we are not actually interested in configuring a complete BRAS. our goal is to test our product with the BRAS server. so we prefer a BRAS with basic functionality. the basic doubt that i have is, if NATing, conntracking, Masquerading are the functions of the BRAS. i believe a BRAS server (be it adsl or any broadband service) assigns a private IP address to the modem/PC. if this is the case, NATing/masquerading must happen somewhere in the ISP network. can someone give clarity in this regard? note: if this is not the right place to ask this question, i apologise for sending this mail. regards, Narendran -- All generalizations are false. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
