Networking problem

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I am adding a new Linux server (my first!) to my home office network which has only a couple of other NT servers running domino and several workstations.

I have set up and installed the domino server ok and it starts up no problem (I think - the console looks like everything is running fine). The problem is that I can’t access the server from any workstations on the network. I can do the ping thing both ways between server and workstation, but I can’t get at the server either with a notes client or a browser (if I use the same IP address I’ve been successfully pinging with)

Everything is connected via an ADSL router which seems to be working fine - the linux box can get out through the router to the web.

Has anybody got any suggestions why my notes clients might not be able to see the server?

Using the Preferences button in the client or using “TRACE 1.2.3.4” from the server.

The linux server security settings were set to High with default firewall rules.

I turned off the firewall (which is probably ok because my router acts as a firewall) and everything works fine now.

I thought about making eth0 a trusted device but as turning off the security did what I wanted, that can be an experiment for another day.

Thanks for the help

My guess is that your router or firewall is stopping port 1352 traffic.
