    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
