Transmission and UFW

[Marcelo Ramone]

Hello.

In the Transmission preferences, I can see the port 51413 is closed.

From terminal I try to open the port with:

sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.105 to any port 51413

Now the program is still showing that port closed...

marcelo@linux:~$ netstat -a | grep 51413
tcp 0 0 *:51413 *:* LISTEN
marcelo@linux:~$

apparently is a program error...

Starting Nmap 4.53 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2008-05-26 08:32 UYT

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Old post, but it seems to be working in Jaunty, transmission sees the port as open.

Huh, not for me. My port was open and working in Intrepid but since a clean install of Jaunty I could not get this port to register as open.

But Marcelos' ufw rule has opened it. Now here is where it gets wierd.

:~$ sudo ufw status
Status: inactive

ufw isn't even running but adding the rule managed to open the port just the same. I don't pretend to understand the firewall but that just plain shouldn't work. Or rather it should have worked all the time.

Update: Now it reports a closed port once again. This thing is screwy.
