Incoming network connections blocked
 

Hi all,

I recently got my N900 and am having fun hacking it :)

But looks like I messed up something, cuz all incoming connections (ICMP/TCP) are blocked. Outgoing connections from the device are working fine.

If someone can help me out, here are the details:
I have lighttpd & sshd installed. Recently they stopped working from my PC via wifi. But, they are still working with remote port forwards to a linux server. (ssh -R 2222:localhost:22 user@remotehost).
Also, all incoming connections are working fine when connected to office VPN (using vpnc).

It seems like some sort of firewall issue (although could not find iptables in maemo :confused:).

Everything was working fine until recently and I dont recall installing anything that could have messed up networking.

Any help troubleshooting this would be highly appreciated,

EDIT: Turns out it was an issue with my wifi router :mad:. Rebooting it solved the issue :o.
Lesson learned: Dont always blame the N900 :)
(PS: Sorry for the SPAM.)

Thanks
mihir

IIRC WiFi power saving feature could be the reason. Turn it off from WiFi settings in your n900 or turn it down a notch and try again.
