openoffice port

[glicerioiii]

hi all,

i have setup a new nfs & ldap server (server2). everything seems to be working perfectly fine already so i connected all of my clients in my previous nfs, ldap, database (server1) to server2, both of them have shorewalls
i was wrong though, everything is not working perfectly, i'm having a hard time with openoffice. yesterday it went on a different port on the server2. now, it entered on another port. so i added another destination port, and remove the port that i added yesterday.

is there a way for me to fix or assign a specific port for openoffice clients.

it's to early to give-up now and post this problem but i don't want to repeat the same step tomorrow. as of now i'm still browsing the web for some answers.

sorry for the inconvenience, i don't know if this post should be here or in the unsupported applications.

thanks in advance.

You should check the way openoffice is launched on both machines.
You could use something like that :

sorry for the late reply, i got busy setting up a wireless desktop, and left my officemates to do the job of allowing the port from the server.

the command you gave me did not work, when i entered that command the teminal just freezes and nothing seems to have happen. i've waited for it to continue but to no avail so i just stop it by ctrl+c.

i thought that maybe its a open office version issue because our old server has an open office 1.x and the clients have openoffice 1.x and other clients have openoffice 2.x (those gentoo that i had already updated before). the new server has openoffice 3.0 version. so when i was setting up this new desktop with openoffice 3.0, i decided to check if it will connect without alterations on the shorewall since both of them have the same versions and still it went on a different port everyday.

but i discovered something also , version 2.x and 3.x entered on the same port, but version 1.x entered on a different port. what do you think? should i go to openoffice.org for help, or is it something about my nfs setup?

as of now i'm still doing the allowing of port everyday.
