Opening ports in Shorewall in order to run an America's Army server

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to set up an America's Army game server on my Debian
server box. Having already configured an Apache webserver and few other
services such as SSH, and a MySQL database I thought that enabling
another daemon application won't be a problem. Unfortunately I was wrong.

After successfully installing and, hopefully, correctly configuring AA
server I was unable to connect to it. Accordingly to instructions given
at http://manual.americasarmy.com/index.php/Linux_Server I've opened
ports listed at the website above. Here you can see part of my
/etc/shorewall/rules dedicated to the AA server:


ACCEPT net fw tcp 14200
ACCEPT net fw tcp 20025
ACCEPT net fw tcp 20045
ACCEPT net fw tcp 20046
ACCEPT net fw tcp 20047
ACCEPT net fw udp 1716
ACCEPT net fw udp 1717
ACCEPT net fw udp 1718
ACCEPT net fw udp 8777
ACCEPT net fw udp 27900


Unfortunately the master game server still doesn't see my server. I've
tried to telnet those ports, but:


Trying [ip address]...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

I tried to disable Shorewall and see if without it I can connect to
those ports. Surprisingly, all of them were still seen as closed,
despite the AA server daemon running in the background. Nmap proves it.

Could you please enlighten me whether I've misconfigured my Shorewall or
there's something wrong with my AA server? I would be grateful for your
help.

Best regards,
Jan Stępień
