I don't know if this is possible but I live in an apartment community
where my cable jack has a cat-5 connection on the jack as well.
therefore I do not have access to the router at all. I amtrying to make
it possible to access my machine from the outside world running red hat
5 and the high speed provider is Time Warner RR. any ideas??
p.s. I have already tried turning off /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables stop to
turn off proxies but that doesnt help.
p.p.s. here is the output from ifconfig eth0 if that helps at all:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:39:BC:83:DF

As far as I know (which may not be enough), you can not
"unblock" a machine within a firewall, at least not from that
machine. The machine has to be unblocked by the firewall.
You could ssh to an external host and set up an ssh tunnel from
there, if you'd wish to.

Thank you for the tip, I will look in to a ssh tunnel. Seeing as I'm not
sure what one is, I am going to reasearch but from the start it sounds
like all I will be able to do is ssh my machine, I am looking to also
run an ftpd, httpd, along with a few other deamons. Is this possible or
should I just be content that I can atleast ssh into my machine and i
guess ftp out from ssh if worse comes to worse. Thanks for your comments

Since you are behind the router and have a private IP address I really
don't think you will be able to run any services like httpd, ftpd, etc.
and have machines outside of the firewall connect directly. Machines
outside of the router won't know the route to your computer based only
on the IP address. You would need to get a real, unique IP address to
get this to work which might not be possible. If you are really running
RedHat 5, I am not sure you would want it exposed to the internet anyway.
