A different fw/router setup (Freesco 0.2.8) was used and sucessfully forwarded the ports I needed. I have attached my script for those who feel inclined. ;-) The required ports needed are 5198 and 5199, both udp to a WindowsXP box. Thanks in advance for any help, Cheers, Nick ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01C285F6.C0B2D670 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="iptables.script" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="iptables.script" #!/bin/bash IPT=3D"/sbin/iptables -v" $IPT -F $IPT -F -t nat $IPT -t nat -A PREROUTING -d xx.xx.xx.xx -p udp --dport 5198 -i = xx.xx.xx.xx -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.2 $IPT -t nat -A PREROUTING -d xx.xx.xx.xx -p udp --dport 5199 -i = xx.xx.xx.xx -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.2 $IPT -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE $IPT -P FORWARD ACCEPT $IPT -A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1/32 -d 127.0.0.1/32 -j ACCEPT $IPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.254/32 -d 0/0 -j ACCEPT $IPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.2/32 -d 0/0 -j ACCEPT $IPT -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT $IPT -A INPUT -p tcp --syn -j ACCEPT $IPT -A INPUT -p udp -j ACCEPT $IPT -A FORWARD -i eth0 -j ACCEPT -m state --state = NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED,INVALID ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01C285F6.C0B2D670--
