Hi,

Can someone shed some light on it ?

`iptables -A INPUT -d 192.168.1.1 -p tcp --dport ! 8080 -j DROP`

If I understand correctly the above rule says, "In the INPUT chain of
iptables, if the destination IP address is 192.168.1.1 and the protocol is
tcp and the destination port is 8080, then drop those packets".

Going with my understanding, I added this rule and tried telneting to the
host on port 8080 but it failed.

Thanks,
Ritesh
