I need to ensure ports 6112 through 6119 are open. I tried using Firestarter to do this, but when I search for what ports are open, it says none of them are. I use Ubuntu 9.04.
View 1 RepliesA few months ago I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my girlfriends laptop, on her request, as she didn't like Windows any more. Since then the internet connection periodically slows down due to too many open ports/connections. Always when this happens I call our ISP and usually there are around 80-200(!) active connections to various IP's.
She is not downloading torrents or anything.
She only uses Firefox and a few open tabs as people do.
Skype is open.
Wireless internet connection.
I am thinking either Ubuntu is updating more or less constantly or the ports/connections aren't closed "after use".
I'm trying to open my ports all the way, but for some reason, I am unable to do so. I've forwarded the ports I want open in my router (I switched between two routers to make sure), I made exceptions in Firestarter, and I even added UFW rules, but when I use pretty much any and every port checking tool out there, the ports eithere back stealthed or closed.I'm not a complete noob, and I'm not an expert, but I'm p sure I'm doing everything right, seeing as there isn't much to screw up.The reason I'm trying to fully open these ports is because I'm getting this dumb 'No Incoming Connections

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been running Ubuntu 10.10 and have found that at any time I am connected to the Internet that I will randomly see high port numbers open when doing a port scan on my computer all are in the unknown listings with five digit numbers so I don't know what is going on or who is using them. Please check your system to see if you are having the same thing happen by using network tools and filling in your local ip address in the port scan tab. If you shut down your Ethernet interface and run port scans the high ports are no longer open. this will at least keep whoever is using your ports at bay when you are not using the net.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI forwarded ports 28900(TCP/UDP) and 5029(UDP) to my linux box for a game. Testing my ports with a website now shows these ports as "connection refused" rather than "timeout" which means the connections are getting to my system but the iptables are blocking them. But I added 28900 as a test and it still won't accept anything on this port. This is my output of iptables -L
root@BPC3:~# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:28900
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

What do I need to do exactly to add exceptions for 28900 TCP/UDP and 5029 UDP?
I'm trying to set up an SSH connection from my school to my home, but not on port 22. I originally tried port 2222, but it didn't work. I called my school IT people and they said they block that port. I asked if they care if I set up an SSH and they said no, but that they wouldn't tell me which ports are blocked and which are open for "security" reasons (which I guess I can actually understand). They suggested just using port 22 or 222, but said if a ports open I can use it.
My question is, can I check ports without setting up SSH? It seems like a hassle to try a different port every day on my home SSHD file, come to school, see if it works and repeat. Is there a way I can check my computer home for connections that could connect, even if there isn't a service listening? I don't know how to do that, or even if its possible. If not, I suspect I'll just try a few until I find something that works, or just go ahead and use 22.
Yesterday I switched from CentOS to Ubuntu, and wanted to install TeamSpeak3 which runs on ports 9987 UDP and 10011 TCP. The TeamSpeak3 worked fine on CentOS before this.
It appears to be running and netstat -an reports:
Code:
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9987 0.0.0.0:*
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10011 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
I believe the only firewall for Ubuntu is "UFW", am I correct? If so, "ufw status" reports:
Code:
Status: inactive
I do have other things running on UDP (Counter Strike Source servers) and people can connect just fine.
When I telnet localhost 10011 I get a response from the TeamSpeak3 server:
Code:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.

Welcome to the TeamSpeak 3 ServerQuery interface, type "help" for a list of commands and "help <command>" for information on a specific command. However, telnetting from outside just gets no answer, this is what leads me to believe it is a firewall in the way.
Normally I use 'netstat -an' to determine if a daemon is listening on a specific port. The excerpt of this command below doesn't list things like vnc (5900) on ipv4. It does however show it on ipv6. My issue is I want to know how to determine if it is indeed listening on ipv4 as would normally be seen with 0.0.0.0:5900. It would appear that all ipv4 ports are internally being redirected to ipv6. Of course this does simplify things, but it also leaves me unable to reliably determine the ipv4 listening status. How I can tell at a glance if a specific ipv4 port is being listened on? Is there a way to force netstat to list the ipv4 listens specifically?
Code:
art@eee1:/proc/sys/net/ipv6$ netstat -an

I've installed a fresh copy of the latest 10.04 distro, lucid lynx and have problems connecting to the machine via ssh because the ports are all blocked (using nmap to check). In past releases, changing the gdm.conf flag "TCPDISALLOW" from true to false would fix this. In the new /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas, I've tried making a similar change, but it's still not opening things up. I've downloaded gufw and have made sure the firewall is off. So, I'm not sure what to try next.

However, I know that localhost goes back to the loopback interface, 127.0.0.1. So, to see what was really open, I ran nmap 192.168.0.108, which is my laptop's IP at the moment.

Now if I understand correctly, I can attribute 139 and 445 to my Samba share. That I'm okay with. What I don't know is 111 and 2049. Does anyone know what these ports are, what's running on them, and how I could turn them off, supposing that they are a security risk?
I'm getting heat from the head networking office that ports 21, 110, and 143 are open. I can telnet to those ports from a remote machine (not localhost) and get a prompt. There does not seem to be anything listening on those ports according to netstat. I've tried using iptables to discard all traffic to a from those ports but I can still telnet to them. This is a lucid desktop machine.

"Ubuntu Server has no open ports by default" - [URL]. Does this mean right after a 10.04 Server Edition installation, if a user wants to start a web service e.g. a Java process to listen on say port 8080, he would have to configure the firewall first?

I've tried to set up a Hadoop cluster on a few freshly-installed 10.04 Server Edition machines and hit a problem. (I was able to set up the cluster using Desktop edition previously). The issue is that I can't connect to the service even though the Java process is running and listening on the port and there is no error in the logs. Anyway, I started to wonder if it was firewall issue so I googled it and found conflicting information.
1. "Ubuntu Server has no open ports by default" - [URL]
2. iptables shows different info. ufw is also disabled.
hadoopadmin@machine-1:~$ sudo iptables -L
[sudo] password for hadoopadmin:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
hadoopadmin@machine-1:~$ sudo ufw status verbose
Status: inactive
I even tried to enable ufw and did "sudo ufw default allow incoming" but still no help. The only package I manually selected during installation is OpenSSH server.
I was port scanning my computer and i found some open ports. How would i close these ports so they cannot be remote accessed?
