Hello experienced TOR people,,,
  I realize I may have become a little obsessed with getting my TOR server up, but for me it represents an important step in my education, and I intend it to be an aid, at least in some small way, to the TOR project. I think I am almost there, just that I have to configure my firewall and perhaps other in order for it to work. I have decided to provide the Linksys config current in html as an aid for anyone who might have hints on what direction I should go to fix the problem. Normally I would not post this much info, but am not sure of more options. 
  Thanks in advance, 
                               Algenon

  I am trying to set up a TOR server on Linux Redhat Enterprise v5,, I am using a Linksys hardware firewall that does have NAT and have modified the system to open ports 9001-9031. I have just installed TOR and Vidalia for Redhat on my system,and, using Vidalia configured TOR ot act as a server. My problem is: (TOR log below)

 To simplify things, I have disabled Redhat's software firewall, to make sure it is not causing  the problem. I am a little unsure I have configured my firewall to accept traffic on ports 9001 and 9030,, I can supply info from the firewall to whomever is interested in helping. 
  Does anyone have any good ideas about how I can get my TOR server up & what the problem is?? Love to hear,,,
