Title: Port Opening
Post by: pabs on January 21, 2005, 04:38:34 AM

Hi All,

I'm trying to open port 43924 on my SME 6.0, i've installed the following rpm dmc-mitel-portopening-0.0.1-4.noarch.rpm and it seems to be working fine in the admin panel.

How can i make sure that the port really is open?

Has anybody used this rpm with any success?

Is there a better way to open a port?

Thanks

I found a port scanning program called "Angry IP Scanner".  seems to work very well.  A scan of my server shows these ports open :

22
25
80
110
113
143

seems resonable to me ... but i've opened another port using the port opening rpm and it isn't showing up?

Why wouldn't it show up as being open?

I need port 43924 open to 2-way traffic.

does anyone have a solution?

It's pointless opening a port on the server unless you've added software on the server which listens to that port.

If you really need to do it (which I doubt) then use a custom template.

Thank you for your reply.

The reason that i need to open that port is for a cc payment service that i am using, they require bidirectional traffic available on port 43924.

If i need to open this port with a custom template, does anyone know of a good tutorial on what template to modify and how to modify it?

because this port is for cc payment what program/deamon should be listening to this port? and how do i get it to start listening?
