How to check if a port is not blocked by the firewall?
Hello,
Here is my working evn:
Server: linux redhat
Client: winxp
My client machine needs to connect to the server using port 1521 to run an application. For some reason (which I am trying to figure out), the application doesn't run. The first step I would like to try in the debug process is to see if the port is not blocked by the server firewall, but not sure which method is accurate.
What I did is to try netstat on the server and got the following:
tcp 0 0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:1521 *:* LISTEN
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xx is the IP of the server.
Does that mean the server firewall doesn't block this port??
Thanks,
Do

I'll try both (service iptables stop) and lokkit. They both seem to work.
Thanks experts,
