Ubuntu Networking :: 9.10 - Too Many Open Ports For ISP

Apr 6, 2010

A 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".

Ubuntu Networking :: Ports Won't Open?

Apr 5, 2011

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

Ubuntu Networking :: Why 5 Digit Ports Open In 10.10

Jan 2, 2011

I 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.

Ubuntu Networking :: Trying To Open Two Ports - Connection Refused

Apr 12, 2010

I 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
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:28900

What do I need to do exactly to add exceptions for 28900 TCP/UDP and 5029 UDP?

Ubuntu Networking :: Checking For Open Ports Remotely

Aug 19, 2010

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.

Ubuntu Networking :: 11.04 Fresh Install -- Can't Open Ports

Jun 28, 2011

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.
Escape character is '^]'.
TS3

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.

Ubuntu Networking :: Open Ports - How To Explicitly Check IPV4

May 4, 2010

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
Active Internet connections (servers and established) .....

Ubuntu Networking :: Ssh Not Working - Ports Not Open - Tcp Diallow For Lucid

May 7, 2010

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.

Ubuntu Security :: What Ports Are Open And Why

Jul 27, 2010

I'm locking down my laptop. I know I can use a firewall to ensure nothing gets through that I didn't catch, and I certainly plan on using one, but in the meantime, I want to know what exactly is running on my system.

nmap localhost returns:
Code:
james@james-linux:~$ nmap localhost
Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-07-26 23:33 CDT
Warning: Hostname localhost resolves to 2 IPs. Using 127.0.0.1.
Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1):
Not shown: 994 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
25/tcp open smtp
111/tcp open rpcbind
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
445/tcp open microsoft-ds
631/tcp open ipp
2049/tcp open nfs
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.18 seconds

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.

Code:
james@james-linux:~$ nmap 192.168.0.108
Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-07-26 23:33 CDT
Interesting ports on 192.168.0.108:

PORT STATE SERVICE
111/tcp open rpcbind
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
445/tcp open microsoft-ds
2049/tcp open nfs
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.14 seconds

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?

Ubuntu Security :: Ports 21 / 110 And 143 Are Open?

Mar 18, 2011

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 Servers :: 10.04 - No Open Ports By Default

"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?

Debian :: Why Are Ports Open?

Feb 2, 2010

Just did a check on "shields up" and it says that ten of my ports are open. I get the same result with or without both shorewall and firestarter. I suspect it may have something to do with the mysql server packages added automatically during installation. Am I right. If so, what can be done about it? If not, has anyone any idea how to keep my ports closed?

Only reason I can think of as to why I can't connect to it is because my ports aren't open. I also recall SELinux complaining about something awhile ago, I can't seem to bring that up any more for some reason.

I have another machine like that at work and there was no problems after resent updates.

Ubuntu Servers :: 10.04 Edition - No Open Ports By Default?

Dec 15, 2010

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.

Fedora Servers :: F11 - Cannot Open Ports 53 And 25

Mar 28, 2010

I've been struggling for days trying to open port 53 and 25 but can't get it to work. My iptables at /etc/sysconfig contains the following:
# Firewall configuration written by system-config-firewall
# Manual customization of this file is not recommended.
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] .....

On the server machine when I do port scan with nmap I see the following result:
Starting Nmap 4.76 [URL] at 2010-03-28 01:03 CET
Warning: Hostname localhost resolves to 2 IPs. Using 127.0.0.1.
Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1):
Not shown: 986 closed ports .....

But when I try to do telnet from an external machine, e.g:
telnet <IP of host> 53
I get:
Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

I also did a port scan with a tool on an external machine but port 53 and 25 weren't listed as opened ports. Also CheckDNS.net on the server returns "Connection reset. Probably DNS server is offline". I am 100% sure that named and sendmail are running. When I do a ps -aux I see:
