Ummm what exists between the linux NAT box and the internet itself? Do you have another router in there? what is meant by: ( eth0 192.168.1.10 > adsl ppp0 IP dinamic) Typically adsl direct connected routers to ppp daemons should NOT have an ip on the ethernet interface unless you need to manage the router. However I digress. Can you see the packet (after DNATting) on the way out ppp0? What if any other rules have you in the FORWARD chain. *thunks head on table* You will need to FORWARD the packets through the box as well as DNATting the packets. iptables -I FORWARD -p udp -s 192.168.2.5 -d 200.24.24.200 --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT And again, depeinding on the presence of ESTABLISHED RELATED rules you may need to return them through the FORWARD chain Sometimes assumption of anything will get us in trouble. > > > > > En Tue, 4 Nov 2003 11:20:42 +0800, Edmund Turner <eturner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > escribiÃ: > > Martin, Alistairs explanation and solution is correct. > > In short 192.168.2.5 will only see traffic thru and fro 192.168.2.1 > > @port 10000.
