Hello, I have installed Redhat 7.1 with the intention of running a Tribes 2 game server. I have ip-masq working fine and with the simple ruleset firewall loaded, people can connect to my T2 server just fine. However I would like to run the stronger ruleset firewall and in the process perhaps learn a thing or two about iptables. I have successfully configured ip-masq and editted the following stronger rc.firewall example to suit my network configuration. http://www.e-infomax.com/ipmasq/howto/c-html/stronger-firewall-examples.html #RC.FIREWALL-2.4.X-STRONGER The difficulty I am having is in opening the correct tcp port range to allow game traffic. I have added the following lines but it still will not allow traffic in to the server. For the record, I can play the game fine on my and other internet servers, from my masq'd Win98 machine. In the INPUT rulesets area, above the related and catch-all rulesets: # remote interface, any source, going to Tribes 2 port 28000 is valid # $IPTABLES -A INPUT -i $EXTIF -s $UNIVERSE -p TCP --dport 28000:28009 -j ACCEPT In the OUTPUT ruleset area, again above the catch-all ruleset: # remote interface, any source, going to Tribes 2 port 28000 is valid # $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -o $EXTIF -d $UNIVERSE -p TCP --sport 28000:28009 -j ACCEPT If anyone could identify what might be wrong I'd certainly appreciate any help you can offer. Also can the source/destination port switch be left out altogether? For example, could you use just -p TCP 28000:28009?
