Re: how to access port forwarded server through internet ?

["Remzi AKYÜZ" <linuxliste@gmail.com>]

Hello,
forwarding is enable?
can you try this;

#sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
#iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED --dport 81 
-i ${LAN_IFACE} -j ACCEPT

If I point at<domain-name>:81 throught internet ; the browser simply reports it can't connect to the service; though the other services running at that very server are quite accessible through internet. Have I missed something in my firewall rule ? Could anyone give any clue please ?
