Hello
I have a Linux box(kernel 2.4.17) set up with a direct connection to the internet (via
cable modem).
Behind it, there are multiple Windoze PCs with private 192.168.0.x addresses.
I can access the internet via each of them successfully. But, if I want to use MSN messenger application from any of them, I have difficulty sending files from my machine to the remote user. Although I can chat & receive file successfully from the remote user. What 'iptable' rule I need to add in my iptables to able to successfully transmit the file to the remote users?
Your input will be appreciated. I don't know which port MSN messenger uses to communicate for ftp of the file?
thanks

bash-2.05# iptables -L

Access to the Internet works very well thank you BUT, if I want to use MS
NetMeeting from my Windoze PC I need to know the other person's IP address.
I can't give them mine because they won't be able to get to it.
