Firestarter Firewall opening ports problems
Posts: 486
I uninstalled Guarddog and installed Firestarter firewall using synaptic. All with no errors during removal and install.
I have opened port 80 to all, port 22 (ssh) to 192.168.2.1/24 which means all pc's on LAN (according to firefstarter docs), and opened 3030 for kde rdesktop, same as sshd. When I try to connect (from pc on lan) to webserver it works. But when I try to connect to sshd using putty, it says server doesn't exist. Remote desktop didn't work either.
I have since set sshd to allow all connections and hit the "Apply Policy" button to update tables, but still cant connect using putty. I can however stop firewall and try to cnnect and it works.
I have tried setting port 22 in firewall to accept from one specific IP on lan and still no go.
I am trying firestarter bc it has more GUIzed options. I have looked thru online manual and have tried all options there.
I can paste my iptables if needed.
Can anyone lead me in a right direction to get this to work?

Are you sure?? What is the IP address of your server machine? In most cases, this will be in the 192.168.0.* range..... Try changing the LAN option to 192.168.0.0./24
Have a question to add: When

Have a question to add:
When I uninstalled and installed I did it all in one step. Should I have uninstalled, rebooted and then installed firestarter? Do I have stuff conflicting with each other??

Maybe one day I'll be able to help if I ask enough questions.
