[netperf-talk] How configure my firewall to execute netperf ? I use shorewall (iptable firewall) on Debian

[Klein Stéphane]

Hi,

I've two computer :
* A : it's a server with a firewall
* B : an computer on internet

I've installed netserver on host A.
I use netperf on host B.

On host B, I launch :

$ netperf -H host_A_address_IP

If I stop the firewall on host A, all work great.
It isn't work when firewall is enabled.

In filewall rules, I've opened default netserver port : 12865

host A have full access to internet.

Where is the problem ? Can you help me ?

It's exactly the same issue than 
http://www.archivum.info/netfilter/2003-03/00360/iptables-config-for-netperf.html
There are no answer to this last question.

Other information : host A is a Debian and Firewall is configured with 
Shorewall

Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Stephane
