Sorry but i think my explanation in some point was wrong _________Machine A / Internet | _____200.68.69.XXX |/ Fw / Apache |\ | \____192.168.0.254 | | -------------------------------------- | | | 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.25 192.168.0.XXX NT / IIS 1) The goal is: Folowing one link at my isp to 200.68.69.XXX:someport (in my case 15000) to launch an app located in my NT box. (This point works fine only FROM Internet not from my LAN) 2) When im pointing from my LAN to 200.68.69.XXX:15000 (this is because the main app page (not application) is located at my ISP) cant see de IIS (and i think that i must be automaticaly delivered to) Maybe this short (uh)!! Explanation can help Yours, Leonardo -----Mensaje original----- De: Maciej Soltysiak [mailto:solt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Enviado el: Jueves, 16 de Octubre de 2003 01:47 p.m. Para: Leonardo Santagostini CC: netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Asunto: Re: A question and a little ascii art > But on the LAN side (162.168.0.0) i cant see the app pointing to > 200.68.69.xxx:15000 Not :15000, follow this: Some host A(a.b.c.d) asks 200.68.69.1 asks for a connection, we see this: 1. Start connection: a.b.c.d:1025 -> 200.68.69.1:15000 2. Do NAT: 200.68.69.1:15000 -> 192.168.0.1:80 3. 192.168.0.1 sends the reply, you should see: 192.168.0.1:80 -> a.b.c.d:1025 So you won't see packets destined for the firewall with port 15000, but you'd rather see packets that are destined for a.b.c.d:1025 By 1025 I mean a random high port that will be the clientside port for that particular connection.
