I need to use Ports 27177 and 27178 but, every Port Checker I can find
says they are blocked.
My iptables setup ( for ) now is:
Incoming Packages- Accept
Forwarded Packets- Accept
Outgoing Packets- Accept
The way I understand it, that means NO Ports should be blocked. Am I
barking up the wrong tree and need to be checking with my ISP?
I think I should be but am just looking for a sanity check!

Well, if you do need to provide IP information for debugging, despite
that, you've now let people know that they can use your headers. ;-)
Some people do post through anonymisers, or post through another
computer, so you can't use mail headers to determine IPs, or which OS or
software are a part of their problem.
You may guess that I don't really care :). Next week I will have a pipe
into the house not associated with my work at which point I could care
less. Work is selling their access business!

OK, then it looks to me that the only thing missing is a properly defined "default
route".

One other thing....
I think I can assume that your eth0 interface is your Internet facing interface and
that it has an assigned IP address from your ISP. Also, your eth1 interface is a
"private" IP address range and not route-able on the Internet. So, you also
need to
have NAT configured to make things work for hosts on the eth1 LAN to route their
traffic through this box.
You do have that NAT up, yes?

You didn't say it specifically, but is doing a cursory search about the ports you
mention would I be correct in thinking you want to place your DirecTV DVR on the
network such that you can get access to it via something like their Android app?
But, there is a "Fedora Server" between your ISP router and the DVR?
If that is the case, then you would have had to set up port forwarding at the
"Fedora" box...which I am now assuming is reachable from the internet?
And, did your outbound issue happen after you made some changes?

Do you have a service running on those ports? If you don't they will show up as
"closed" even if not blocked by a firewall.

Let me just say that I'm a bit confused. When someone asks about ports and them
being closed it refers to "inbound" connections. But, now you seems you are
tying to
make a connection to the internet from behind a F14 system (acting as a firewall?)
and can't connect....for example to http://fedoraproject.org/.
So, is your problem trying to access the internet or the internet trying to access a
server ?
It started as trying to access inbound for the two ports in question. It has now morphed

You need to explain a bit more about your setup. What does the network you're on look
like, from which system to what system are you trying to connect, and does
"netstat" report the ports open on the host you want to connect to?
My iptables setup ( for ) now is:
Incoming Packages- Accept
Forwarded Packets- Accept
Outgoing Packets- Accept
Yes, this means iptables is turned off (or allowing everything - you can't really turn
it off). But that's just on that host. It doesn't count for any other system in
between, firewalls, routers etc.
The way I understand it, that means NO Ports should be blocked. Am I
barking up the wrong tree and need to be checking with my ISP?
If you're bringing your ISP into this, then your personal home firewall is the least
of your problems. Most ISPs will block some traffic but they rarely block everything. That
said, if you're using a standard NAT setup, then you're blocking yourself unless
you setup some port-forwarding rules. And even then, you may have issues depending on the
protocol you want to use on those ports.
I think I should be but am just looking for a sanity check!
I think you're looking at this in the wrong place. If you want remote access to your
network, it's your gateway/firewall that's important. Yes, the ISP may also be
blocking you - there are ways to test that too. Be aware, that most ISP/'s condition
of use makes it very clear they can disconnect you if they find you're hosting
services. Of couse the key word here is "find".
