Hello all, Players at my office asks me to give them access to outside counterstrike server, UDP 21705. unfortunatelly, i am brand new in iptables, so i've read the docs and started make rules, but they does not work. Then i've tried simple root@woody~/iptables>cat 1.sh #!/bin/sh echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -v -F -t nat iptables -v -F iptables -v -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 205 -j ACCEPT iptables -v -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 205 -j DNAT --to-destination 172.17.32.12:25 , then telnet to woody:205 and there is no refusal and no answer. root@woody~/iptables>cat /proc/net/ip_conntrack [...] tcp 6 118 SYN_SENT src=172.17.32.5 dst=172.17.144.110 sport=2020 dport=205 [UNREPLIED] src=172.17.32.12 dst=172.17.32.5 sport=25 dport=2020 use=1 Can someone please tell me, what i am doing wrong? why [UNREPLIED]? should i create rule to pass packets back from 172.17.32.5 to client? p.s. iptables v1.2.6a, kernel 2.4.18 Best wishes, Maxim mailto:mak@rtsnet.ru
