Hi,

I am running the PipeService examples in the programmers' tutorial - 
they are pretty neat and run well until I start using my linux firewall. 
  When running the PipeService server on my linux box (while running the 
iptables firewall configured to allow tcp connections on ports 
9700-9713) other hosts on my lan can't connect to it.  If I turn off 
iptables then, naturally, the other hosts can connect. The linux box is 
running Fedora Core 2 and I've added the following lines to the iptables 
  configuration (/etc/sysconfig/iptables):


-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 
9700:9713 -j LOG
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 
9700:9713 -j ACCEPT

Has anyone else had similar issues?  Thanks.  John
