Port Forwarding in Solaris 10

austinramsay · 10-25-2010, 03:25 PM

Hey guys sorry for all the questions but how do I enable port forwarding in solaris 10? I'm trying to create an ftp server to start out with, but I'm not having good luck. My scenario:

My Inspiron 6000 laptop is connected to my wireless router sharing the internet over LAN. My sunfire is working off my inspirons internet. I've port forwarded on my router for my inspirons internal ip (192.168.1.3 on port 21), but now what do I do for my sunfire so I can get this ftp server working over the external ip?

No reason to be sorry about it. LinuxQuestions is precisely there for people to ask questions and other to reply to them.

Forwarding port 21 alone isn't enough for the ftp service to work, you'd better configure a DMZ for it. Moreover, if I understand your topology correctly, it's not the sunfire which need to be configured for port forwarding but your laptop.

Thanks for an answer, but how do I configure a DMZ?

You do it on your router but it won't work with your topology.
