Ubuntu Networking :: How To Open Port For BT Downloads Using Transmission
Oct 19, 2010
Transmission says my port is closed. If I google the problem, it just gives me advice on how to open a port in Windows OS. There's no firewall in Ubuntu 10.10 by default, right? There isn't any router used neither. I'm living in a dorm. I just plug the LAN cable in the box fixed to the wall.
How to open port for transmission or deluge to use torrents, 'cause any of both programs can download any torrent. I've searched on the internet and only find about open ports on hardware router, and that's weird 'cause Deluge on windows works perfect just after installing it and there's no need to open any port on hardware router.
I have just set up the transmission bittorrent client on my server (using the web interface), and am trying to get the port forwarding right. After noticing low download speeds (and rare uploading), I decided to check if a port needed to be forwarded.
I found many conflicting sites, mentioning both the ranges 6881-6999 and the port 51413 (as well as TCP and UDP versus just TCP). My current configuration is to forward TCP and UDP port 51413 to my server.
While I have Transmission running, whether it be up/downloading or just open with one thing unpaused and no activity, all other computer functions that need internet access are unusable. Transmission says my port is closed in its preferences.
1. How do I find and open port? 2. Will finding an open port solve the problem of all things internet not working while Transmission is? 3. Do I need to create a static ip in order to forward a port through my router? 4. Will creating a static ip and forwarding that port solve my problem of only being able to use the internet while Transmission is on?
We are a small company running half a dozen servers in data center.Recently we got charged heavily for over-utilizing the data transfer. So,we are looking for a way to find - uploads and downloads per ip and port basis.We have mixed environment (Win2008/Ubuntu) so the tool should be able to work for both.I am not sure if MRTG provides per port(i.e. application) based analysis.
I just installed apache. I didn't change the configuration files at all except add Quote: # added servername to avoid the could not determine fqdn error ServerName myname.homelinux.org to apache2.conf. Apache is working locally (I get the `it's working' screen at [URL]). However, I cannot access my computer from an external computer by going to [URL], which is equivalent to [URL] -- [IP address changed slightly for privacy] Here is a screenshot to my router settings. I disabled the filter for port 80 on the router. here shouldn't be a firewall, unless it's automatically installed with ubuntu 10.4. (sudo ufw status says `inactive'.)
I checked my ports from [URL] and indeed port 22 is open (ssh-ing into my computer externally is not a problem), whereas port 80 is closed. What step in opening up port 80 am I missing? (I also made sure my ISP isn't blocking port 80.)
When I try to open Transmission I get a message: "Couldn't open "/home/shai/.config/transmission/lock": Permission denied", and the only way to open it is by using gksudo.
I read on another thread that I need to delete that file, but the file doesn't exist.
needing to open a port in ubuntu, then use it for my VirtualBox Pc.My VirtualBox is running - Windows XP I have a router connected to my network - Linksys WRT54G Now lets begin, I have tried opening via there router homepage. But when I go to [URL] and test port 4900 is still says that it is closed.
No matter what I do, i cannot get port 3100 to open. This is for a new MMO i am CBT on. I know it works on windows because that is how I installed it and played. But I prefer being on Linux. Majority of all other MMOs work fine. Just this one has to have udp 3100 open.
The following is a rough output of all the methods I have tried with no success. As you can see I have done some extensive research first before posting here.
Now its become a lil bit of an obsession.
I cannot get the following command to work:
And yes I tried the "spaces" in different places thinking that was the prob. So i cannot see if 3100 is in the list or not
I eventually turned on the firewall "ufw enable" add the port there, and output:
Some references
[url]
Firewall stuff: [url]
I even manually went into the router and turned it on there.
I have an n900 phone and I'm trying to ssh to my desktop but I'm getting an error:
ssh: connect to host 58.xx.xx.xx port 22: Connection refused
I recently started using a router for I wanted to connect to net even with n900. I've tried to open the port from the setup page of the router however it doesn't seem to work. (find below the screenshot of setup page).
I've tried to ssh through slackware I've got as a virtual machine and I have the same problem although I was able to ssh through slackware before I started using the router.
I found that I can not use the UDP port on FC 12.I new install one FC 12 , but when I use the next command nmap -sU localhost.I found all udp port has been filtered.I don't know how to open the udp ports . for I need use some udp port.I use iptables , but not working. Why ?
I would like to test myself if port 5060 is open for UDP packets.
I got a few shell accounts outside of my ISP that run Linux or different BSDs. Does someone know a common program where I could send UDP packets to port 5060 of the IP address that Virginmedia assigns to me and then I would need a program on a PC within my network who reads them _if_ they get through.
Background of all this is that my VOIP phones from two different VOIP providers are offline since last Monday. One service provider confirmed that another VOIP client is online with the same service provider Virginmedia but in a different area.
So, while I don't know how long does it take that someone from Virginmedia can tell me if their port 5060 is open for UDP, I would like to find out myself in the meantime.
I have a problem sending of file attachment using Instant Messengeri have a firewall using firestarter, if i used outside firewall they can able to recieve my file in instant meesenger but if i used firestarter it always cancelled my sending of file attachment....
I am running RHEL 5.3 and attempted to open port 4470 for an application that will use the port. I used the graphical interface to open the port, just as I have for other ports such as 4750.I can telnet to the server with:telnet server 4750
If I try the other port that I'm trying to open:telnet server 4470
I get "Could not open connection to the host, on port 4470: Connect failed."I have restarted the network and iptables services.I have turned off the local firewall and it still did not work.
So, I've installed and configured OpenVPN on Ubuntu server 10.04, but I can't connect to it. When i try connecting from another ubuntu machine it's "connection attempt timed out" and i can't seem to fix it. I think the problem is that port 1194 (which i've configured openvpn to use) isn't open. I've created iptables rules,Here are the rules:
I think port 24800 is firewalled in my linux machine. i tried synergy to sue as a server in linux and doesnt work. i tried from the windows computer and works!
So... I telnet (from linux) to an address: telnet 192.168.0.1 24800 and the time is out (so a firewall is blocking this port).
My simple question: How do I open this port so i can get the synergy server in my linux box?
I have a iptable as firewall, I want to open incoming of port 8080 so I use "# Allow forwarding of incoming Port 8080 traffic" but it didn't work? how can I open just incoming of port 8080?
Recently I discovered that we were accidentally running a POP server (port 110), when we only should have been running the encrypted version thereof (port 995). This wouldn't have been a problem if the port was blocked in the first place.Isn't the default iptables setup on CentOS to block unspecified ports? Specifically, this line from /etc/sysconfig/iptables
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
Right? Well, this doesn't seem to be working for me. I added some rules to allow additional ports and commented out a couple (crucially port 110), but for some reason, port 110 is open.Here is /etc/sysconfig/iptables and the output of iptables -L below that:
# cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables # Firewall configuration written by system-config-securitylevel # Manual customization of this file is not recommended. *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
[code]....
Why isn't "-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited" doing what I think it should be doing?
I've been working and researching this for about a week now and I still haven't had any luck. Basically, I have been trying to open port 3306 to allow connections to my MySql server.
i've added the rule into iptables, saved and restarted that i've added the rule into my router. and I have removed "skip-networking" from the my.cnf file and added the blind address in, I'm trying to get this all to work on my LAN, but it doesn't seem to work, I've also restarted the entire server and then port scanned it from outside and inside the networking and it still tells me that 3306 is closed.
I did however i had some luck when I entered the Ip of the machine that would be sending data to the server but then PROFTPD stopped working and the port was open :/ im not really sure what ip should be in there but another thread from another forum said to enter the ip of the machine that mysql is installed on. so currently its 192.168.0.2 which is the static internal address of the server.
every machine on the network has a static ip and all the rules have been added to each firewall, i.e. server and router firewalls.
ill pop my "my.cnf" under this to see if anyone can find a mistake,
Code: # This will be passed to all mysql clients # It has been reported that passwords should be enclosed with ticks/quotes # escpecially if they contain "#" chars... # Remember to edit /etc/mysql/debian.cnf when changing the socket location.
I would like to Close/Open port 21 using command line. I have an FTP server and I don't want to have the port open all the time. I need only two hours by week to be open port 21 from outside to inside.So I need to know the command line for opening and closing the port 21 then I will implement this in a script into cron.hourly.
Just install 10.10 on a 4 gig flash drive, I like it a lot. Is there one download I can do to add all the non open source programs such as Flash, adobe reader, and such?
I am trying to make a vnc connection from pc #2 to pc #1. Pc #1 is a debian pc behind a zyxel router (P-2602HW-D1A). Pc #2 is a windows xp pc another place at the internet.I have configured the zyxel router to forward incomming trafic on port 5902 to the local ip-adress of the debian box. The debian box is running a vnc server, listening on port 5902.But i dosn?t work.I have tryed to scan the zyxel routers ipadress on port 5902 from the internet, but the scanner says that the port is closed.The vnc server on pc #1 is working fine on the local network. I can connect to the server from a pc on the same side of the zyxel router.Is it deffenitly a router problem, or could it have something to do with debians own firewall?
I have been unable to open my Downloads folder for 2 days now. I've tried everything. I can get into every other folder on my machine though. I also have 103GB free space on my machine. Is there perhaps a limit on the amount of data I can have per folder? I'm running 64bit Ubuntu.
I have a very quick question (and I can't believe I can't figure this one out myself: sorry). I installed 11.04 this weekend. Now, when I download, say, a word doc using FireFox, LibreOffice doesn't by default open the file (instead, Wine tries to open it; but, alas, fails). Now, when I try to open with another application, when prompted by the Firefox download window, I have no idea how to allocate LibreOffice as the programme to open the download. I can navigate to the .libreoffice folder, for example, but then I'm presented with many other folders, with many files, etc, and I have no idea how to set LibreOffice to open the file.
I know I can save file to hard-drive, then open manually. However, I would like to be able to simply open the file directly with LibreOffice.
