This is driving me up a wall. I have a NAT entry such as thus: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 1.2.3.4 \ -p tcp --dport 5631 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.1 The thing doesn't work. If I run a telnet session from the NAT box to the internal machines port of 5631, it responds. But, when doing that from the outside world, it doesn't. And yes the outside IP is bound to the NAT box, as eth0:2 actually. This is a pcAnywhere connection, but I doubt that pcAnywhere cares as it works on other servers, just not this one. Some stats of the server: iptables 1.2.9 kernel 2.6.3 (also tried 2.4.25) gcc 3.2.3 libc 2.3.2 Any ideas? -- Northern Indiana ESC Adam Kennedy - akennedy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Linux Specialist / Network Administrator Phone: (574) 254-0111 x113 Toll Free: 800-326-5642 Fax: (574) 254-0148
