[gentoo-user] opening port 8000

[Maxim Wexler]

Hi group,

Shoutcast doesn't connect. nmap reveals all my ports are closed. How
to open port 8000?
netstat -a doesn't mention it.

ps sorry if another similar post made it to the list; I was typing
away and it just disappeared, honest

Assuming you are using an iptables based fw:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -j ACCEPT

You mean you have a shoutcast server running on your machine?  Are you 
behind a NAT?

To see if you're behind a NAT, type:

   /sbin/ifconfig

and note the "inet addr" of your ethernet device (usually "eth0"). 
Then, go here:

   http://www.myipaddress.com/show-my-ip-address

and check if the IP address reported there is the same as the "inet 
addr" reported by ifconfig.  If they are not the same, you are behind a 
NAT.  That means you will have to "forward" port 8000 in the device your 
PC is connected to (a DSL modem/router/gateway, for example).

Well, two questions:

1) "sudo netstat -lpn" - do you see it listening on port 8000? if so,
2) open it on your firewall/router

Couple of quick questions though:
1.) Nmap from outside your network, or just the box with shoutcast?
2.) Direct connection to the internet or not.
    a.) If not directly connected to internet, open port on router
    b.) If directly connected iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -j
ACCEPT


Cheers

That's not what the intructions you quoted say.
