Iptables (opening port ranges)

Iptables (opening port ranges)

[Raymond A. Khan]

Hey guys,

I'm having a problem with iptables opening a range. Its for Mechwarrior 
4 mercs and it requires port ranges 28800-29100 open. I'm using DNAT  so 
i'm able to host games as well. my problem is i cant seem to get those 
ports opened and since i dont want to write 300 lines of iptables port 
info. is there a way to open those port ranges
in my rc.iptables in one line or as few as possible.

i'm using an xp box to connect to the linux for internet. basically my 
linux box is my dhcp server.  I've assigned a static ip address to the 
mac address of my xp box.  and i'm trying to get to the open ports 
through my linux box.

thanks!

What commands are you using to open those ports?

How do you know it's failing?

What errors are you seeing?
