Telnet is not working with iptables

[Shariq Siddiqui]

Hi All,

i am facing a lil bit problem, hope anyone out there can help me...


i want to open specific port using iptables i.e 3159

Whenever i tried to telnet it generates the following error


# telnet 172.16.4.100 3195
Trying 172.16.4.100...
telnet: connect to address 172.16.4.100: No route to host
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to hostbut when I stopped iptables 


# service iptables stopIts working fine

i added the ports in iptables i.e.


#iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 3195 -j ACCEPTfor safe side I also added telnet port


#iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 23 -j ACCEPT
but result was same....

In short telnet works without iptables but with iptables it generates the error mentioned above
