Tell us what the rest of your ruleset is, and what connection you are trying
to block (ie how are you testiung it and deciding it doesn't work?).
Let's just clarify one thing to begin with - since this rule is in the INPUT
chain, you *are* trying to block a connection to the machine running
netfilter / iptables, and not a connection being routed through to somewhere
else (for which you should use the FORWARD chain), yes?
