Title: Open Ports??
Post by: Brandon Friedman on November 01, 2000, 10:35:42 AM

Hi there
Quick question:
How do I know if the following ports are open on the E-smith box and how to I open/close them?
Port numbers are 8800,8600,8300 & 8806

Thanks
Brandon

netstat -an | grep :8

will show you whether they are open (they're not). Opening them
would require running some form of daemon to listen on those ports.

All ports are open by default for internal machines using masq to get to the outside.

No ports are available to machines attempting connections from the outside - to do this would require Port Forwarding (See other mails on this topic...)
