Hi!I tried using these rules. My iptables rules look like below (Check the bold part). If I use this I can login to the database only through the Database server , but not through the Application server. Please let me know if I missed anything important here. -A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type timestamp-request -j REJECT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type timestamp-reply -j REJECT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p esp -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p ah -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -d 224.0.0.251 -p udp -m udp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 514 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT #-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 1521 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 1158 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 148.147.172.226 -p tcp --dport 1521 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 148.147.172.227 -p tcp --dport 1521 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -j DROP -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited COMMIT # Completed on Tue Jan 29 10:32:53 2008 On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 5:14 PM, Geofrey Rainey <Geofrey.Rainey@xxxxxxxxxx>wrote: > I don't understand what the big problem is, am I missing something?
