Hi! Look at your forward options Maybe you need to have these lines. Make sure if FORWARD is ACCEPT. #set the dafault policies; close everything iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P OUTPUT DROP iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT # modify this ################################################ # Allow all outgoing Internet access ################################################ iptables -A OUTPUT -s 192.168.28.3 -d 0/0 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT ################ iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING --dst 192.168.28.3 -p tcp --dport 88 -j DNAT --to 192.168.28.2 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING --dst 192.168.28.3 -p udp --dport 88 -j DNAT --to 192.168.28.2 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p udp --dst 192.168.28.2 --dport 88 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.28.3 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp --dst 192.168.28.2 --dport 88 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.28.3 iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT --dst 192.168.28.3 -p tcp --dport 88 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.28.2 iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT --dst 192.168.28.3 -p udp --dport 88 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.28.2 Yan -----Original Message----- From: Rohit Kumar Mehta [mailto:rohitm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 6:59 AM To: netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: simple port forwarding question Hi guys, I was wondering if someone could help me out here. I am fairly well confused after trying to muddle through this tutorial: http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html I think what I want to do should be easy. Perhaps someone could help. We are trying to trick the systems into believing that the Kerberos 5 server is on IP#2 (let's call it 192.168.28.3) but it is in fact on IP#1 (192.168.28.2). Maybe my attempted iptables commands will make it blatantly obvious what I am trying to do: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING --dst 192.168.28.3 -p tcp --dport 88 -j DNAT --to 192.168.28.2 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING --dst 192.168.28.3 -p udp --dport 88 -j DNAT --to 192.168.28.2 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p udp --dst 192.168.28.2 --dport 88 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.28.3 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp --dst 192.168.28.2 --dport 88 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.28.3 iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT --dst 192.168.28.3 -p tcp --dport 88 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.28.2 iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT --dst 192.168.28.3 -p udp --dport 88 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.28.2 Basically we want it so that if I do a "telnet 192.168.28.3 88", I get a connection to "192.168.28.2:88" This works - when I initiate the connection from 192.168.28.3, but from any other machine on the network it does not work. Am I doing something wrong or forgetting a key step? Thanks! Rohit
