iptables version 1.2.5
rc.firewall-2.4-stronger version 0.77s
Having problem forwarding 216.161.174.4 port 8241 to 192.168.20.246 port 22.
I added the following rule to run DNAT:
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 216.161.174.4 --dport 8241 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.20.246:22
What I saw when trying to connect to the port from a remote host was:
uccinet kernel: IN=eth1 OUT=eth0 SRC=64.158.129.226 DST=192.168.20.246 LEN=60 TOS=0x10 PREC=0x00 TTL=45 ID=63685 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=2030 DPT=22 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0
I later learned that I also needed some FORWARD rules to make it work. The default script had most of them. I added:
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -d 192.168.20.246 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
Now, I don't see anything in the logs AND I'm still NOT connecting to the internal host.
Attached is both the firewall script and the output from iptables -nL. The only lines added to the firewall script are 477-483 and 553-554.

# The location of various iptables and other shell programs
#
# If your Linux distribution came with a copy of iptables, most
# likely it is located in /sbin. If you manually compiled
# iptables, the default location is in /usr/local/sbin
#
# ** Please use the "whereis iptables" command to figure out
# ** where your copy is and change the path below to reflect
# ** your setup
#
IPTABLES=/sbin/iptables
#IPTABLES=/usr/local/sbin/iptables

#Setting the EXTERNAL and INTERNAL interfaces for the network
#
# Each IP Masquerade network needs to have at least one
# external and one internal network. The external network
# is where the natting will occur and the internal network
# should preferably be addressed with a RFC1918 private address
# scheme.
#
# For this example, "eth0" is external and "eth1" is internal"
#
# NOTE: If this doesnt EXACTLY fit your configuration, you must
# change the EXTIF or INTIF variables above. For example:
#
# If you are a PPPoE or analog modem user:
#
# EXTIF="ppp0"
#
EXTIF="eth1"
INTIF="eth0"
echo " External Interface: $EXTIF"
echo " Internal Interface: $INTIF"
echo " ---"
# Specify your Static IP address here or let the script take care of it
# for you.
#
# If you prefer to use STATIC addresses in your firewalls, un-# out the
# static example below and # out the dynamic line. If you don't care,
# just leave this section alone.
#
# If you have a DYNAMIC IP address, the ruleset already takes care of
# this for you. Please note that the different single and double quote
# characters and the script MATTER.
#
#
# DHCP users:
# -----------
# If you get your TCP/IP address via DHCP, **you will need ** to enable the
# #ed out command below underneath the PPP section AND replace the word
# "eth0" with the name of your EXTERNAL Internet connection (ppp0, ippp0,
# etc) on the lines for "ppp-ip" and "extip". You should also note that the
# DHCP server can and will change IP addresses on you. To deal with this,
# users should configure their DHCP client to re-run the rc.firewall ruleset
# everytime the DHCP lease is renewed.
#
# NOTE #1: Some DHCP clients like the original "pump" (the newer
# versions have been fixed) did NOT have the ability to run
# scripts after a lease-renew. Because of this, you need to
# replace it with something like "dhcpcd" or "dhclient".
#
# NOTE #2: The syntax for "dhcpcd" has changed in recent versions.
#
# Older versions used syntax like:
# dhcpcd -c /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall eth0
#
# Newer versions execute a file called /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.exe
#
# NOTE #3: For Pump users, put the following line in /etc/pump.conf:
#
# script /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
#
# PPP users:
# ----------
# If you aren't already aware, the /etc/ppp/ip-up script is always run when
# a PPP connection comes up. Because of this, we can make the ruleset go and
# get the new PPP IP address and update the strong firewall ruleset.
#
# If the /etc/ppp/ip-up file already exists, you should edit it and add a line
# containing "/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall" near the end of the file.
#
# If you don't already have a /etc/ppp/ip-up sccript, you need to create the
# following link to run the /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall script.
#
# ln -s /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall /etc/ppp/ip-up
#
# * You then want to enable the #ed out shell command below *
#
#
# Determine the external IP automatically:
# ----------------------------------------
#
# The following line will determine your external IP address. This
# line is somewhat complex and confusing but it will also work for
# all NON-English Linux distributions:
#
EXTIP="`$IFCONFIG $EXTIF | $AWK \
/$EXTIF/'{next}//{split($0,a,":");split(a[2],a," ");print a[1];exit}'`"
# For users who wish to use STATIC IP addresses:
#
# # out the EXTIP line above and un-# out the EXTIP line below
#
#EXTIP="your.static.PPP.address"
echo " External IP: $EXTIP"
echo " ---"
# Assign the internal TCP/IP network and IP address
