Yes.   Have you read any of the tutorials or HOWTOs available from 
http://www.netfilter.org to find out what it can do and how to make it do it?

If you tell us what your rules are and give us some more detail about your 
network setup, we might be able to help, however a better solution for you is 
to look at some of the excellent documentation available to learn how to do 
it yourself.   This is not a hard problem, and you will be able to manage 
your system much better in future if you understand more about how it works.

One very important detail which is not clear from your description above is: 
where is the "client machine" located?

Antony.
