Unblocking Ports

[Christoph Georgi]

Check the entries of you iptables with

$ iptables -L

and ensure that the default policy is not set to DROP (it shouldn't 
anyway out of the box) and no other rules are blocking any ports (if you 
don't get along, just post the output, please).

Furthermore, check you open ports with

$ netstat -an

maybe adding a grip for the IP of your network interface. If that's not 
working, maybe write a short iptables script that opens the port and see 
whether that's working or not as it might be that the Battlefield 
software is not opening the port/not configured correctly?!
