Hi again... I did it, and nothing happens, the 2nd webserver is fully operational and I cant get to it from my server/router. Here's my nmap test: PORT STATE SERVICE 21/tcp open ftp 22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp open smtp 80/tcp open http 143/tcp open imap 3306/tcp open mysql and there's no 8080 port that could be getting packets And here's my script again... maybe I'm missing something else... ------------- echo "Borrando posibles reglas anteriores..." iptables -F iptables -X echo "Habilitando politicas de negacion total de paquetes" iptables -P FORWARD DROP iptables -P INPUT DROP echo "Reglas para paquetes de entrada y salida" iptables -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT ##internas iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 143 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i lo -p tcp --dport 143 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 110 -j ACCEPT #para el forward a la maquina compaq echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.73.219.77:80 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ------------- Any sugestions pals?
