I need to open port 8069 on external IP. from router point, internal-ip and port 8069 was set (to forward to that local ip). So it should be possible to connect from external-ip:8069 to internal-ip:8069? But for some reason it is not working. Locally I can connect to with internal-ip:8069 to openerp server (through browser or gtk client). Do I miss something? Because outside lan, it is not possible to connect to that port (while it is possible to connect to other ports (but on different internal-ips).

/etc/network/interfaces:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.170
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.115

/etc/deny.hosts:

#there is no hosts to be denied

/etc/allow.hosts:

sshd: ALL:ALLOW

What I am missing?

Please make sure you have allowed port 8069 for incoming connection not outgoing – Web-E Aug 16 '12 at 11:52
How could I do that? – oerp Aug 16 '12 at 12:10
If it's working on your local network then it isn't an issue with your ubuntu pc, it's an issue with your router. – MickStep Aug 16 '12 at 12:33
Does anyone have ideas what could be wrong with router? Cause I'm out of ideas.. – oerp Aug 16 '12 at 13:06
Solved this by changing internal port from 8069, to 8080. But didn't find a way to use with internal port 8069.. I thought internal ports didn't matter or is it conflict with other ips that use same internal port? – oerp Aug 17 '12 at 8:10
