To clear things up: Connection which was up was not blocked in FORWARD? You only changed rule in PREROUTING ("...different source adress...")? If so, "old" connection just didn't hit prerouting as its already been there, and forward isn't dropping its packets. To me it seems to behave as expected. On Thursday 26 January 2006 17:15, Ethy H.
