In my ubuntu box I am running flexlm licensing software on port 27000 and I am able to pull the license from the this port to run the simulation software locally.

I am also trying to run the same software in another Linux machine (opensuse) by using the flexlm license from the Ubuntu box. However, my opensuse box is unable to communicate with port 27000 in my Ubuntu box.

I have turned off the firewall on the Ubuntu box, played around with iptables and when I do a nmap from my opensuse box to Ubuntu box the message I get is that port 27000 is on filtered status. My understanding is that filtered status does not allow the opensuse box to communicate with Ubuntu.

My question is how to change port 27000 from filtered status to open status? Hope someone can help me out. Thank you.

Andy here is the iptables and I am using UFW

    It could be helpful to post the output of iptables -L and netstat -an|grep LIST Dec 14, 2012 at 23:18
  • Andy here is the iptables -L Dec 15, 2012 at 19:02
