   OPens Port
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

Accept tcp packets on destination port 6881 (bittorrent)
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6881 -j ACCEPT


Accept tcp packets on destination multiple ports 6881-6890
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6881:6890 -j ACCEPT

This will open up port 22 (SSH) to all incoming tcp connections which poses a potential security threat as hackers could try brute force cracking on accounts with weak passwords. However, if we know the IP addresses of trusted remote machines that will be used to log on using SSH, we can limit access to only these source IP addresses. For example, if we just wanted to open up SSH access on our private lan (192.168.0.x), we can limit access to just this source IP address range:

Accept tcp packets on destination port 22 (SSH) from private LAN
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.0.0/24 --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

  To Delete and entry
iptables -D INPUT -s 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT

  To list all entries : iptables -vnL

No sense in reinventing the wheel Mike Jackson's site does a good job of explaining.     http://www.mickyjay.co.uk/?p=29

To connect to the Windows 7 machine from a remote computer simply go to your internet browser (Internet Explorer is recommended because of the nature of Microsoft web based apps) and enter the URL as follows:

http://Server IP Address : port no/tsweb

For example:  http://192.168.0.1:3389/tsweb
