My network has a Redhat 8.0 as its gateway and several other windows machines connects to this gateway to access the internet. The RH 8.0 is the server/firewall for my home network. All of them are connected via a swtich. Now this is what i want to do:
I want my RH 8.0 to allow remote access to port X and at the same time forward any requests to port X to my Windows XP machine. I've tried playing around with the firewall, to allow routing port X to my WindowsXP machine. But the question is, how do I actually go about opening this port X on linux? How do i make Linux listen on port X? My firewall has been set to forward any requests to port X to my Windows XP machine, but for this to work i need to make linux listen on port X. How do i do this?
I tried using SSH and Netcat, but those didnt help. When i use SSH and do a local scan (127.0.0.1) the port X is opened. But when i scan my remote IP, the port X is not opened. Any ideas?
