Hmmm - I had opened 111 and 4000-4004, but it seems that they may be the wrong ones. OTOH, this is a huge list. Do I need all these open?
First where are you trying to access this machine from? Local LAN or the Internet? If it is local LAN then why not trust the machine that is trying to connect instread of opening a bunch of ports? That is how I do things at home. Local machines are trusted so they can connect anytime on any port.
That would be a sensible solution, but how do you set that up?
