Public bug reported: I am running Dapper 6.06 LTS on a Dell Inspiron 630m with an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG adapter. Using my wireless connection, I am unable to use any high port numbers above 999. For instance, when trying to use Firefox to manage a server using the Webmin tool, I cannot access http://www.someservername.com:10000
I cannot surf to a web server using http://www.someservername.com:8080 I tried using telnet www.someservername.com 8080 or telnet www.someservername.com 10000 and get no connection. Yet, when running these same commands or using Firefox to access the above websites, I can successfully connect in all instances when using the wired connection on the same computer. I tested this with an Apache web server and kept changing the Apache listening port. Any port I configured below 1000, I was successfully able to connect to. Any port above 1000, I was not. This problem is easily repeatable and consistent. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Use of High Ports with Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG https://launchpad.net/bugs/64528 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
