I've been trying to get port forwarding working on after the UPGRADE from 5.1.2 to 5.6 but must be missing something.
On the 5.1.2 a portforward rpm was installed.
I read that : you have no other port-forwarding/opening contribs installed, as they will conflict.
Which and how do I close / uninstall these packages/contribs?
Can someone help me?

Hi,
version 5.6 have a new Kernel (2.4.x). In the new Kernel Firewall, Portforwarding and so is managed in a new way. So the old RPM for e-smith <5.6 (Kernel 2.2.x) will maybe not function. But there is a RPM for Portforwading for e-smith 5.6. Maybe you found it on http://wiki.contribs.org/ ? Or a search in this forum ?
Regards. Ralf

As I have already stated an updat is present (see http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=17384.msg67704#msg67704) but to make this update, the old rpm needs to be uninstalled (or deactivated). I am not that experienced that I know how to do so.
How can I remove the old portforward and install the new rpm?
Regards,
DJ

When uninstalling an RPM you use the name of the package without the version number e.g. rpm -Uvh e-smith-portforward-1.0.1-10.rpm would install then
rpm -e e-smith-portforward would uninstall
Check the name of the module you installed and use that as a guide.

And if you don't know the exact name, just run
rpm -qa | grep -i portforward
or whatever part of the name you remeber.

Michiel and Graeme,
thank you both for helping me. It really worked, unistalling the rpms =
and installing the newer version for 5.6!
