Hi Richard,
<br />
<br />If you don't want those blocks - use the command-line command: "iptables -L -n | more"
<br />to find the rule that is blocking. The output will looks something like this under the "acctin" chain:
<br />
<br />DROP all -- 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.250.240/32
<br />or
<br />DROP tcp -- 195.195.131.183 192.168.250.240 tcp dpt:80
<br />or maybe even
<br />DROP all -- 192.195.131.183 0.0.0.0/32
<br />
<br />You're looking in the "acctin" chain for something showing that destination IP 192.168.250.240, and destination port TCP80. Once you find the rule, count down from the top to see what rule number it is (like 5th from the top). Then use the command: "iptables -D acctin 5" to delete that rule.
<br />
<br />Alternately, you can delete it by duplicating it (its just harder with the syntax). So that second rule above would be deleted with:
<br />iptables -D acctin -p tcp -s 195.195.131.183 -d 192.168.250.240 --dport 80 -j DROP
<br />
<br />See why I say counting down the number of rules and deleting it by line number is easier??
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />Chuck
<br />
<br />
<br />P.S. - If you can't figure out which line is doing the blocking, use the "iptables -L -n -v" command and send the output back to the list. I'll look it over and see if I can figure out which firewall rule is doing the blocking.

Chuck. I certainly [UTF-8?]don’t want access to port 80 blocked and we received
complaints today that it was unavailable. I have Dfix2 installed but I

<br />> Those log entries show that someone at 195.195.131.183 was trying
to connect to 192.168.250.240 on TCP port 80. So they're trying to hit the
webpage at the address 192.168.250.240, but were being blocked by the IPTables
firewall software on your BX server.
<br />>
<br />> Does that source address
mean anything to you? What is on that destination IP address, and does
that site have a webpage? And probably the most important question - why
would the IPTables software be configured to block someone hitting a webpage??
<br />>
<br />> I can't imagine DFix or one of the other automated security
tools blocking webpage requests to TCP Port 80, but I don't know all those
packages well - so it could be something automatic. But on first guess -
I'd suggest someone would have had to manually configure that block. That
then goes back to the last question - why would someone want to block access to
a webpage/website??
