Allowing traffic to a VM
by rrog from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5F4VD)
Hey guys,
So I'm having an issue with port forwarding - and could really use a tip or two on how to get things working... Here is my senario:
I'm running Linux on a VM I've created on a ESXi Hypervisor
The Linux machine has a private IP in my home network (192.168.1.94).
I have setup our route to forward any requests on all ports to this system, (also tried selective ports like 22/80) - but
No matter what, I cannot seem to have anyone from the outside world touch these systems.
Looking at the logs, it seems I'm getting some blockage in terms of my router address... but I thought I have it all open for port 80.
Anyone else run into this? any tricks or help would be supper appreciated.
Thanks all
