[lug] IP Chains/Firewall Question

[Pedersen, Michael J]

By my understanding, the half life server runs just fine on linux.  So,
another option would be to host the server on the linux box, and just open
up that port.  Syntax should go something like this:

ipchains -A input -d 192.168.0.10/255.255.255.255 27910:27910 -i eth0 -j
ACCEPT

That's a rough guess, without my linux box (or any other manuals) handy.
