Hi all ! I a have a fw box running RH 7.3. Here's part of my nat table : -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp -s 172.16.190.0/255.255.255.0 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080 -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -m tcp -s 172.16.190.0/255.255.255.0 ! --dport 80 -o eth0 -j SNAT --to-source 1.1.1.1 -A POSTROUTING -p udp -m udp -s 172.16.190.0/255.255.255.0 -o eth0 -j SNAT --to-source 1.1.1.1 -A POSTROUTING -p icmp -m icmp -s 172.16.190.0/255.255.255.0 -o eth0 -j SNAT --to-source 1.1.1.1 -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp -i eth0 -d 1.1.2.1 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 172.16.190.5 -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp -i eth0 -d 1.1.2.1 --dport 9287 -j DNAT --to-destination 172.16.190.5 -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -d 1.1.2.2 -j DNAT --to-destination 172.16.190.7 -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp -i eth0 -d 1.1.2.3 --dport 5003 -j DNAT --to-destination 172.16.190.143 Part of my filer table : -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth2 -p tcp -m tcp -d 172.16.190.5 --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth2 -p tcp -m tcp -d 172.16.190.5 --dport 9287 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth2 -d 172.16.190.7 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth2 -p tcp -m tcp -d 172.16.190.143 --dport 5003 -j ACCEPT There are other things in it, and my last FORWARD line is a LOG one. 1.1.1.1 (fake ip) is the ext. ip of the box (eth0) 1.1.2.x are ips routed by the box. 172.16.190.x are internal ips (eth1) DNAT to 172.16.190.5, port 80 works fine. DNAT to 172.16.190.143, port 5003 is not. In /proc/net/ip_conntrack, I see : tcp 6 118 SYN_SENT src=x.x.x.x dst=x.x.x.x sport=49502 dport=5003 [UNREPLIED] src=172.16.190.143 dst=x.x.x.x sport=5003 dport=49502 use=1 With iptables -nvL, I see packet counter rising for the 2 rules concerning port 5003 On the 172.16.190.143 box, wich is a mac os x box, with netstat -an | grep 5003, I see : tcp4 0 0 172.16.190.143.5003 x.x.x.x.62382 SYN_RCVD tcp4 0 0 172.16.190.143.5003 172.16.190.153.49342 ESTABLISHED tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.5003 127.0.0.1.49184 ESTABLISHED tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.49184 127.0.0.1.5003 ESTABLISHED tcp4 0 0 *.5003 *.* LISTEN I see nothing being logued. I tried removing port selection as in : -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -d 1.1.2.3 -j DNAT --to-destination 172.16.190.143 -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth2 -d 172.16.190.143 -j ACCEPT Still the same thing. What am I missing ?
