Hi, Just *testing* this out.. iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 4662 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --dport 4662 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p udp --dport 4662 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 4662 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp --sport 4662 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p udp --sport 4662 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --sport 4662 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --sport 4662 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 4662 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -o eth1 -p tcp --dport 4662 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -o eth1 -p udp --dport 4662 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -o eth0 -p udp --dport 4662 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -o eth0 -p udp --sport 4662 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -o eth1 -p udp --sport 4662 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -o eth1 -p tcp --sport 4662 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -o eth0 -p tcp --sport 4662 -j ACCEPT yet, when i try to telnet to it, mdew:~# telnet 127.0.0.1 4662 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused Yeah I know I have lots of unnessary rules, but im only testing 'em...it just seems a little strange that i cant see 4662 (Edonkey port) on the router. -mdew
