You'll probably find NAT doesn't work with vmware but I may be wrong. Do some logging tests to see if packets generated from the vmware server does pass through iptables or not. I remember somewhere something saying netfilter doesn't see those packets, something like the vmware software is NATing itself or something.. I may be totally wrong so yo have to -j LOG all traffic on your machine and check if any are from the vmware server. -----Original Message----- From: netfilter-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:netfilter-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Zeeshan Pervez Sent: Friday, July 18, 2003 11:35 PM To: netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Help Regarding iptables Importance: High hello there sir i have established a virtual network using vmware. i want to do packet filtering based on their content . can i achieve this by iptables. pls help me in detail steps as i amquite new in linux Regards Zeeshan Pervez National University of Sciences and Technology (Pakistan)
