Hi guys I apologize for my first message, it was crap. sorry. Now, I\'ve a little problem and no idea how to solve it, I hope, someone could give me a hint. Situation: Internet -- Firewall 1 -- DMZ -- Firewall 2 -- LAN |-- Webserver = WWW |-- FTP |-- DNS now, for the Server in the DMZ, I wanted to use a 1:1 NAT, for the hole rest Masq. So did I the follow (for the WWW) on the Linux-Router: 10.0.0.4 = DMZ IP WWW; x.x.x.165 = Official IP WWW ifconfig eth1:1:0 add x.x.x.165 (as described in the NAT HowTo, necessary for the ARP-Packets) iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d x.x.x.165 -j DNAT --to 10.0.0.4 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.4 -j SNAT --to x.x.x.165 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE So far it works well from the inside. From outside I can only ping the WWW and connect with SSH, but not connect via FTP or WWW (the services are up and running). Has someone an idea, why this happens? Or a better idea to do this? Thanks very much in advance Tiziano
