Linux noob needs help

[freestylee30]

Ive got the server setup, but when starting it I noticed that it is only listening on 0.0.0.0 I know this isn't right because I have set it up before on windows where I had it running correctly.

Currently this linux box is all that I have to run a server on. Im sure there is something simple for you linux gurus that I passed over when setting up.

Help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon

Anyone have anything for me?

Im trying this on Suse Linux, I've got a valid IP address from my router and have the port forwarding setup on the router.

For some reason it just isn't listening on any valid IP.

0.0.0.0

0.0.0.0 Means on any interface.

Yeah, I read through the FAQ and found that as well... It just responded differently than the Win version and I am not able to connect to the Linux box. I'll have to play around with it some more and see if maybe the port is blocked on the PC.

Thanks

If he is correct simply type service iptables stop or iptables -F.

Firewall was my problem... sorry I meant to come back here and say thanks for the tip. I had a feeling it was something along those lines but didnt know exactly how to work around it.

Thanks again!
