AltME can't connect

 [1/3] from: carloslorenz::rebolbrasil::nobrenet::com at: 8-Oct-2004 8:28


Hi list Since Carl said at his blog "email is dead" =A0I guess I must put AltME to work at my Linux Box :) Well I am using a DSL connection with NAT and iptables rules ( a simple firewall) and AltMe just can' t connect to AltME server. I have already opened the ports mentioned by AltME crew on their site but nothing happens. What are the tricks to make it go? thank you Carlos Lorenz

Hi Carlos, in /etc/sysconfig/iptables I Have in part (mind the wrap) -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5500 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5400 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5401 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5402 -j ACCEPT and it is working for me on redhat On Fri, 8 Oct 2004, carlos lorenz wrote:

you also may have to explicitly allow (outgoing) 5500 for world name lookup (outgoing only) from http://www.altme.com/guide/advanced.html On Fri, 8 Oct 2004, carlos lorenz wrote:
