Post by: cosy on October 10, 2005, 01:47:01 AM

HI All,

  I got one SME 5.6 Server and i set the portforward my VNC connection to Workstation. But now it didn't work and i just open the server-manager and had a look
the port forward menu disapper from the server-manager???

 I don't know what happen. Can someone tell me.

1. How do i check is this portforward rpm is installed? or is it not running?

2. Can i portforward 3389 to IP from command line ?

3. Where can i find that portforward contrib for SME 5.6 incase if i have to install?

Versions prior to 6.0 have known, exploitable (and exploited) security holes. Nobody has maintained them for years. Upgrade to at least 6.0, and apply all updates.

Running a machine with known security holes as a firewall is a very bad idea. Port forwarding is included in 6.0
