Hi Mr. Pascal,
Thanks for your response. I am sorry to have responded so late - I was
out of the city and had no access.
I have modified some of my script statements according to your suggestions
I now have the port forwarding setup working to some extent.
On the 192.168.1.0/24 network, I am able to access the pop and smtp
server located at 192.168.0.10
On the 192.168.1.0/24 network, I am able to access smtp, pop, ssh, http,
mysql servers from within the same network.
Out of curiosity, I went over to the 192.168.0.0/24 network and tried to
do a port scan for my server's external IP (192.168.0.176 - DHCP)
Using Look@LAN software on Windows XP, I saw ports 21, 25 and 110
detected during the scan, but no ICMP reply.
My knee-jerk reaction was to edit the ICMP rule for INPUT. It was
earlier above line 27.
But, what is causing ports 25 and 110 to be exposed on my server's IP?
Thanks once again,
Nandan
