All right, let me explain my current setup because is not working after all your great help, let me put here step by step everything that is currently going on here. -Server 1 has this /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall script: #-----<script> 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 #iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -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 echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -d 192.168.0.2 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 10.73.219.156 -p tcp --dport 8080 \ -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.2:80 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward #-----</script> -in order to avoid any eth0/eth1 packets confussion, I have only one NIC in server2, the one that has the second webserver. This is the server2's route output: -----route script [root@linserv root]# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 -----route script It seems to be ok, from server2 I can access server1 thru 192,168 network but, what concerns me is that, it takes too long to show the default router, it gets stuck in lo about a minute. About accessing it from server1 using telnet, i have a remote server trying to access ip:8080 and it stills get no answer, even though the nmap record shows that port 8080 in server one is filtered Thanx a lot for this great help, I really apreciated it Peace Juan Programmin' Python is like sugar... Sweet! ;)
