 |
|
Hi
Can anyone tell me how to change the firewall setting? I installed Gentoo and Subversion. But when I connected from a windows machine using SVNclient, it gave me an error message:
| Code: |
(Can't connect to host '192.168.0.20': No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. )
|
Is it caused by the firewall restrictions?
Thanks a lot! |

We could help you if you can show us the output of:
| Code: | | iptables-save > firewall-rules.txt |
or the firewall script you are using.
(you should mask any public IP address on the output if there is one )
Or you could be using WinXP with Service Pack 2 with firewall enabled?
Make sure you allow SVNclient to connect outbound, or allow connection
to the IP address of your SVN server.

joeybravo - Thank you. But I didn't have any iptables stuffs installed and could not find this command. What else do you think I can try? Is it really a firewall problem? Or Gentoo have its own port blocking rules?
Thanks. |

Hmm.. definitely not a port blocking or firewall issue with Gentoo, coz you
mentioned you don't have iptables installed.
I don't have any experience with SVN..
But its worth checking what port did you configure SVN to listen on?
By default (no Apache) it waits for a connection on:
svn 3690/tcp # Subversion
svn 3690/udp # Subversion
To check what TCP port is listening and process is using a particular port issue this command:
If you don't see SVN binary bound to any port it's either its not started
or you have problem in your SVN configs.
If its listening to the port you configured it to listen to, try connecting
from within the Gentoo box if you can connect.

I have a similar question. Having read this post I actually tried out:
| Code: |
iptables-save > firewall-rules.txt
|
But the file returned back empty and I would now like to start adding in rules to protect my box. Is there some easy going firewall howto that I could use to quickly put something in place?

| Thanks for this. I've just re-natted my router and cut off some unused ports so for the moment, this will surfice. But I will also look at the iptables that you have listed. |
