Your FORWARD rule is still wrong. It's already been DNAT'd so forward it to the IP thats on the box..ie 10.0.0.11 panic:/# iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -p tcp -d \ 10.0.0.11 --dport 21 -j ACCEPT Also your firewall is on panic so NONE of the rules you have listed are even used. When you telnet from panic to 10.0.0.11. http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/index.html#HOWTO -----Original Message----- From: netfilter-admin@lists.netfilter.org [mailto:netfilter-admin@lists.netfilter.org]On Behalf Of louie miranda Sent: Monday, 24 February 2003 7:02 PM To: netfilter@lists.samba.org Cc: Rasmus Bøg Hansen Subject: Re: Forwarding problem, :( port redirection! panic:/# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -d 203.190.72.108 --dport 21 -j DNAT --to 10.0.0.11:21 panic:/# iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -p tcp -d 203.190.72.108 --dport 21 -j ACCEPT panic:/# telnet 203.190.72.108 21 Trying 203.190.72.108... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused panic:/# telnet 10.0.0.11 21 Trying 10.0.0.11...

I'm pretty sure, you need to exchange the global and local IP. /Rasmus -- -- [ Rasmus "Møffe" Bøg Hansen ] --------------------------------------- Drink wet cement: Get Stoned. ----------------------------------[ moffe at amagerkollegiet dot dk ] --
