The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Working with iptables (CentOS 5.2) .... "allowing ICMP" and "opening up SSH" ...

Asked by pugdog_fan in Linux Networking

Hi:

I have PBX in a Flash 1.4 (runs on CentOS 5.2) ...

The PC this PBX runs on has two NIC cards.  

One NIC is on a 172.x.x.x subnet (NAT) with no access to the Internet from the LAN.
One NIC has a LIVE 'static' IP address which reaches right to the ISP with no router/firewall in front of it.

I am not able to 'ping' the LIVE 'static' IP address the 2nd NIC is assigned.

I've setup PBX in a Flash 1.4 in the past (in a few other configurations), and I've never really been able to get ICMP to work.

I would like to be able to ping the LIVE static IP address from another host on the Internet.  

NOTE:  ICMP replies 'work' if you try to ping the 172.x.x.x IP address from another 172.x.x.x host, but not the LIVE static IP address assigned to the 2nd NIC.

I am thinking this is not a PBX in a Flash 1.4 concern, but rather an iptables configuration.

How (or what) do I configure inside CentOS to 'allow' incoming ICMP to reply?

-------------------------

Next, if use PuTTY from another PC on the 172.x.x.x subnet, I can SSH into the PBX in a Flash 1.4 PBX.  

If I am on another 'Internet' PC, I cannot SSH into the LIVE static IP address of the PBX in a Flash 1.4 PBX.

Again, I think this is quite possibly a CentOS iptables/firewall boggle.  

How/what can I do to be able to SSH into the PBX in a Flash 1.4 PC from another PC on the Internet?

Thanks in advance for your time and tips.
