Hello List! I'm a little new in the world of iptables and could need some advice concerning a simple Port Forwarding. I created s basic rule set as described in common howtos and the internet: # iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -p tcp --dport port -j ACCEPT # iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport port -j DNAT --to local_ip:port My FORWARD CHAIN contains two further entries (they actually don't affect the above rules): # iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT # iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT Although I have ip_forwarding enabled and ifconfig seems to be ok, the Port Forwarding doesn't work with these rule set and there is no firewall on local_ip. The strange thing now is, that I actually made a working Port Forwarding earlier which I forgot to backup, d'oh! Since reboot I have difficulties setting up the correct rules again. I probably used to have an older iptables version installed when no problems occurred, but I think this doesn't matter anyway. Current Version: 1.2.8 Anyone help? Greets! Dominique Benz
