| Hello all.
I've been running a SmaugFUSS base off of cygwin for windows, for about three months. People have been able to connect just fine. I accomplished this by adding a forward for the mud port to the computer that it was running from.
Today, I switched the mud over to a computer running knoppix linux. I was able to get the mud up and running using the bash shell, and other computers on the network can connect to it. I changed the port forward so that it forwarded to the IP address of the new computer. Even after all this, no one can connect from the internet. Does anyone have any ideas on why I wouldn't be able to connect from the internet? | | Top |

| | You probably have a firewall set up on your Linux box. I've never used the Knoppix distro so I can't help you with your firewall. I'd suggest looking up how to open a port in the firewall on the Knoppix forums or documentation. |

| Yeah. There was a firewall, but I set it to off. It was a no go.
The one I found was called "KNOPPIX Firewall." Perhaps there's another layer of protection? | | Top |

| Well, again, I really don't know how the Knoppix distribution works, but here are some ideas:
- Maybe the firewall you turned off was just a front-end manager to iptables, which, AFAICT, is one of the most common firewall implementations. You could try doing something like /etc/init.d/iptables stop -- although turning off your whole firewall is a Very Bad Idea. You'd be much better off opening a port.
- It's also possible that you didn't actually disable the running firewall, you just disabled its initialization. If you reboot your computer, the firewall might not start up. Again, though, you really don't want to be disabling your entire firewall.
Checking the Knoppix forums is still your best bet, though, I would think. They'll be able to give much more precise ideas than me since they're familiar with the distribution. |

I would be testing to see if anyone can connect from another PC on the same subnet (that is, your home). That narrows down the problem to whether the port forwarding is working, or whether the Linux configuration won't let any incoming connections through at all. |
