Hi,
I don't know if this is a bug
in iptables or in my implementation. The problem is, if I add a single
entry in mangle table in INPUT chain I'm not able to ping the host
from anywhere!
I've hundreds of rules in FORWARD mangle table,
which I've been using for shaping traffice to my clients and it is working
fine. I tried it another pc, though running the same version of iptables,
but the result is same. I can't ping the pc from anywhere once a single rule is
added to INPUT manlge table. But once the INPUT mangle table is flushed I can
ping it. The problem is ony with ICMP packets because I'm still able to connect
to the pc using ssh!
I'm using :
iptables v1.2.6a
Kernel : 2.4.20 with HTB 3.6-020525
Patch applied
Distribution : Red Hat Linux 8.0
thanks a lot,
Rohit Neupane
