RH72 with iptables v1.2.5-3
I'm doing port forwarding to a server that runs jabber and everything
works fine, I did notice that if I bring up a jabber client on the
firewall itself I do not get connected. While this isn't really
needed... I don't totally understand why it doesn't work. Being
inquisitive... well I just gots to know why! Can anyone shed some
light?
My rules for the jabber port forward are:
iptables -A FORWARD
-i $ExIF -d $JabIP -p tcp --dport $JabPort
-j ACCEPT
iptables -A PREROUTING
-t nat -d $ExIP -p tcp --dport $JabPort
-j DNAT --to-destination $JabIP
iptables -A POSTROUTING
-t nat -d $JabIP -p tcp --dport $JabPort
-j SNAT --to-source $InIP
