You must specify whether you're talking about a TCP source port, or a UDP one.

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -j ACCEPT
or
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --sport 80 -j ACCEPT

will work.

You should do a few things to help solve your problem:

1. Tell us, or even better, show us what your configutation looks like. We can 
give better advice if we know what you're trying to do.

2. Try the advice that's given, then show us your rules and tell us what 
happened when you tested them.

3. Read the tutorials and study the examples. Iptables is very well 
documented.

You are not able to ping because you dont READ the manual.
There are so many good tutorials about iptables.
First, read this below and you find all your answers. If you cannot find why 
your linux box do not ping, tell us:

You need to specify the protocol: -p tcp or -p udp

Cheers,

There are 2 dashes before sport:  --sport 80

I always look for the simple mistakes first cause those are the ones I always 
make!

I think we may have set a record for the largest number of different

	You haven't specified which protocol.  Unlike some firewall types 
that interpret your request as "please match tcp source port 80 or udp 
source port 80", iptables requires you to specify which protocol, and make 
two seperate rules if you want to match tcp or udp.
	Since I assume you're looking to match _tcp_ port 80, try the 
following:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -sport 80 -j ACCEPT

	By the way, this will allow someone to portscan your systems as 
long as they're using a source port of 80.  I'd suggest you look into 
using the "state" module to remember outgoing connections, and then allow 
incoming tcp source port 80 traffic _if_ it's part of an extablished 
connection.
	Cheers,
	- Bill

You need to specify a protocol if you want to specify ports.

For example: 

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -j ACCEPT

Because ping is a PROTOCOL called ICMP. It has two different packet
types, ICMP type 0 and 8.

0 == Reply
8 == Request

Hence, if you want to ping the system, you should add the ability for
those protocols to be accepted.

iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type 8 -j ACCEPT

Please do SOME research before asking such elementary questions on a
tools list. This is not a networking newbie list (although there really
should be one somewhere). This is for netfilter related material, but
what you seem to lack is a general misunderstanding of networks.

Arr. I've gotten a lot more impatient with ppl ever since I got a junior
admin... Sorry man, I know you're just learning and all.

iptables + RELATED

[Peter Marshall]

Hi, My name is Peter Marshall.  I am having some problems letting ftp
through my firewall without opening all of the ports.  I was trying to get
RELATED to work, but for some reason it will not.  Here is an example of
what my file looks like

$TABLENAME -A FORWARD -d x.x.x.x -o eth2 -j mychain

$TABLENAME -A mychain -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$TABLENAME -A mychain -j DROP

I don't think I need the ESTABLISHED, but I put it in anyways.

If anyone could help it would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks


Peter Marshall
