If your iptables firewall is stopped that should eliminate that as an issue. If your machine has 192.168.100 address then the router in front of it must be doing NAT. >From your workstation have you gone to http://www.grc.com and run a scan? This should tell you what ports are open or blocked from outside of your LAN. Of course this will use what ever public IP address is assigned to your router. If it is acting as a firewall it may be blocking certain ports. Your test from the router to your workstation may work as you may not be going through the firewall portion of the router, just out the local LAN interface. -- Scot L.
