WinMX through a Linux gateway

[Sec-Gen]

I can't get WinMX to work through my Coyote Linux gateway. I tried to open the needed ports with

ipchains -A forward -p TCP -d 0.0.0.0/0 6699 -J ACCEPT
ipchains -A forward -p UDP -d 0.0.0.0/0 6257 -J ACCEPT

but it still didn't work. Any ideas?

OK, go and read a firewalling HOW-TO first (http://www.tldp.org/ or the NHF's here), then...

iptables -t filter -I INPUT -p tcp -d ip.of.windows.machine --dport 6699 -j ACCEPT
iptables-t filter -I INPUT -p udp -d ip.of.windows.machine --dport 6257 -j ACCEPT

You might need to allow it through to your external IP as well, but try that on it's own first...

If that doesn't work, then there maybe something else you are missing...

Hope this helps,
