Hi,
It has got following commands :
 
***
iptables --flush
iptables --table nat --flush
iptables --delete-chain
iptables --table nat --delete-chain
iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface tunnel0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth1 -j ACCEPT

iptables -t -nat -A PREROUTING -p TCP --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128

This should be

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p TCP --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128

Make sure that you have removed (-) from -nat above. This is a syntax error.

Hi,
I am trying to install iptables-1.2.8.tar.bz2 on Linux 8.0 server.
I have downloaded iptables-1.2.8.tar.bz2 file from netfilter downloads to /root/iptables-1.2.8 directory.
by using command
"tar -xf iptables-1.2.8.tar"
it has created iptables-1.2.8 directory in which all files are extracted.

After this you have to compile the iptables.

 
I don't know how to go further.
I tried make and make install.
 
Then when i gave command "/etc/rc.d/rc.local"
it gives following error.

Tell me what this file contais. Is this a script which has iptables rules?

"[root@xyz iptables-1.2.8]# /etc/rc.d/rc.local
SIOCDELRT: No such process
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
SIOCADDRT: File exists
SIOCADDRT: File exists
iptables v1.2.6a: can't initialize iptables table `-nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
 
How to go ahead now?
 
Thanks
