I have a 3.3R machine that's acting as a firewall. It's placed between my
router and my lan. I have a fairly lengthy rc.firewall, so I won't post it
yet .. I'm figuring that the problem I'm about to describe is either a known
issue or a "oh, you dummy, you forgot to do this" type of thing.
If I telnet to, say, port 111 from the outside world to a particular server
behind said firewall, I get denied (the telnet just "hangs", and the console
shows a refused entry). However, if I telnet to, say, port 25, which is
allowed thru, disconnect, and then try port 111 again, I'm allowed through!
If I wait 15 seconds, and try port 111 again, I'm disallowed. What's going
on here?
TIA,
-=| Ben
