we're trying to establish port forwarding so that a box internal
on our lan (192.168.1.2) can serve requests through the
debian/potato firewall, from 'out there'.
i had this working at some point -- but now i can't get
'ipmasqadm portfw' working. (i may have missed a step, but
/usr/share/doc/ didn't help ring any bells...)
"[PUBLIC_IP]" is, of course, the box's actual ip address:
# ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L [PUBLIC_IP] 7890 -R 192.168.1.2 80
# ipmasqadm portfw -ln
prot localaddr rediraddr lport rport pcnt pref
TCP [PUBLIC_IP] 192.168.1.2 7890 80 10 10
well, it LOOKS like it's up, but--
# nmap [PUBLIC_IP] -p 7890
Starting nmap V. 2.12 by Fyodor (fyodor@dhp.com, www.insecure.org/nmap/)
No ports open for host server ([public_ip])
Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0 seconds
which is bolstered by the fact that if i try to connect to
public port :7890 from outside i get deafening silence (unable
to connect to host).
is there another step i've forgotten? i'm on potato 2.2.17 and
this was working earlier...
