Hello Ringo Kamens,,, Having trouble setting up TOR server behind firewall...

[algenon flower <algenon_flower@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Ringo Kamens
  Nice to hear from you, and thank you for your response. I am running RHEL v5, and a Linksys hardware firewall. I do not know yet how to configure port forwarding, am going to check with firewall settings to see if port forwarding is available there and confirm that I have entered the right IP of my RHEL system behind the firewall. I will reply with updated news, thanks for reply, hope ppl stay interested.,,:),,
                                                              Algenon

It sounds like you haven't enabled port forwarding on your firewall.
Even if the ports are unblocked, the traffic might not go to the
server. You need to forward all traffic coming to the firewall on
ports 9001 and 9030 to your tor server.
