Don't know about your specific problem, but I use Firestarter (available
through default Synaptic, apt-get etc.) for firewall management, opening
ports, monitoring etc.

This seems like it should at least be easy to find, but I'm having the
darndest time trying to access a simple web server app run on my
Precise Pangolin server, either on port 80 or a non-standard port,
through the Internet.
The first thing I should be able to do is to access such a server
locally, using the Internet IP address. I run pydoc on port 80
(quickest way I know of to run a web server). I can reach this server
using localhost, but not my IP address.
ssh is working fine: I can ssh back to my box from a remote box, so I
know I have the right IP address and everything.
Smells like a firewall/iptables issue. The only things the interwebs
have told me about are iptables and ufw. But I have duly disabled ufw
(sudo ufw disable), while running "sudo iptables -L -n" yields the
following output, which I read as meaning that everything's wide open:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Am I reading that wrong?
Any other things I should look at?
Much thanks,
Bob
