Here's netstat's output: cobra:/home/basil # netstat -ant Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:6010 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 127.0.0.1:24451 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 :::225 :::* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8005 :::* LISTEN tcp 0 0 :::8009 :::* LISTEN tcp 0 0 :::8080 :::* LISTEN tcp 0 0 ::1:25 :::* LISTEN tcp 0 0 ::1:6010 :::* LISTEN tcp 0 0 :::8443 :::* LISTEN I've tried forwarding port 80 to basically every one of these ports and then attempted a telnet connection to that port. If I do it from the "outside", the connection just hangs like the port is being filtered. If I do a "telnet localhost 8080" I get: Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused According to the iptables man page, locally generated packets are mapped to the 127.0.0.1 address, so this should work I'd think. There's got to be other people running OpenSuSE 10.X out there that are trying to do the same thing. Does anyone have a success story for port forwarding on that platform? I've scoured the SuSE blogs and support sites, but haven't really found anything. And Novell makes you go through hoops just to sign up so you can post things to their forums :-( Thanks, /Henrik
