no ports ready...

hello evrybody,
i’ve installed opensuse on my new server and i’ve installed some daemons like samba,vsftpd,telnetd too. When i try to connect on my server by my lan it seems to be unreachable.i’ve tried also scanning the server’s local ip , trying to see the ports open…i can’t scan it…(it seems to be down!) ???

Hi there,

Have you made sure the Suse firewall is off? Really, really made sure? (Check it in yast. You can also run yast in the console) Also, run this on the server to see what daemons are listening on what ports: netstat -tuple and then (from another computer) run an nmap of the server (zypper install nmap, or grab the rpm from somewhere)

If that does not resolve it, you will at least be a step closer!

Cheers,
Pete

Either your Firewall is blocking everything or the NIC is not configured.
Let worry about the 2nd part first.
In a terminal window enter:

su
ifconfig -a

Post the results. ( You can conceal any critical IP’s, but we do need to see
that they are there.)

If you do not want to disable the firewall completely, you can open just the
ports you need. For Samba open TCP:135,139 and 445; UDP: 137 and 138. You
would also need to allow broadcasts. For the other services, you should be
able to look them up or look at /etc/services for a list of ports used by
each service.
