how to enable access to port from network in ubuntu?

Question

when i "netstat -an | grep LISTEN"

i have line:

tcp6       0      0 127.0.0.1:24030         :::*                    LISTEN     

i want it to be

tcp6       0      0 ::24030         :::*                    LISTEN     

in other words i want to have this port opened to whole LAN, now it is only accesible from local machine

how can i do it?

im on ubuntu 10.04

Answer 1

Your jetty server is listening only on localhost. Change jetty config to listen on all interfaces. Then set rule in your firewall to accept requests on port 24030 for example sudo ufw allow 24030

Answer 2

And if you need jetty to be visible/accessable from local network in a Eclipse (web, spring, google app engine) development, you just add --address=0.0.0.0 or -a 0.0.0.0 in your Debug configuration/Arguments/Program arguments. Default jetty setting is localhost and as such is visible just on server.
