Re: Problem with inbound connections

[Matt Drew <mdrew redhat com>]

If you're doing what I think you're doing, you are masquerading those two
machines.  In that case, the core problem is the masquerading, although
the regular ipchains rules could be blocking the necessary ports as well.
There are various port forwarding tools that can be used to allow external
access to your machine(s) -- see section 6.8 if the IP Masquerading HOW-TO
at www.linuxdoc.org.
