Port Forwarding
Does anyone here know some good resources for port forwarding on linux? I have never done this even on a windows machine, so I really do not know the first thing about it. If someone could help me change the port my torrent client runs through so i can get the FC10 and maybe Debian or something I would be greatful. [i am running FC9] I would like to learn how to do this anyway if only to simply learn how to do more.
Any ideas guys?

If you're running a router, you'll need to forward the specified port(s) to you machine. There should be a table in your router for port forwarding and some directions there on how to do it. If you just need ports opened on your FC box, there is a utility to make it easy. Open a terminal and as su do:
You'll see something like this. Follow the directions on this page to get you set up.Code:system-config-firewall
