I don't catch what's wrong > Any help will be more appreciated The INPUT chain is for incoming packets. The OUTPUT chain is for outgoing packets, and is not refering to the external network card. Since the webserver can reply to your clients, I assume the you have a default policy of ACCEPT for the OUTPUT chain (iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT) so you don't have to use any rule there. I guess your LAN is connected to eth1 and internet to eth0. To accept http traffic for your LAN and internet : # iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT # iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT If you have only 2 network cards (disregarding lo), you can a rule like this : # iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT Rob
