The problem I'm having is that when I run a server on my Debian Linux machine,
I can access the server from the local loopback interface, but the connection
gets refused if I use the external IP address. For example, I have MySQL
running and can connect to it with
telnet localhost 3306
but doing
telnet 192.168.0.110 3306
will result in the connection being refused. And yes, the IP address I'm using
is correct.
I have a 2-machine network with the Linux box and a Windows box connected with
a DLink router. I can connect to the Windows box just fine from the Linux box,
but not the other way around. I can only connect to the Linux box from the
loopback interface on the Linux box. Pings work just fine in both directions.
My iptables settings are set to allow anything. I'm not sure where to go with
this to debug it. Something is causing the Linux box to refuse connections and
I'm not sure what's doing it.
I can get to the outside world just fine, it's just connections coming in on
the NIC that always get refused.
Thanks,
Rich
