Dear all, I have a little problem. I have an 3com ISDN router, which broadcasts every 10 seconds on src-port 1025, dst-port 2071 and protocol udp. 3com has released a program that collects those broadcasts to report the status of the router. The log of the packets: Dec 21 09:46:51 firewall kernel: IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:08:00:4e:a6:f5:74:08:00 SRC=192.168.1.1 DST=192.168.1.255 LEN=116 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=42318 PROTO=UDP SPT=1025 DPT=2071 LEN=96 Now I want to move my computer behind my firewall and let my firewall to forward those broadcasts. The new situations will be: +----------+ +----------+ +----------+ | ISDN- | | | | ADSL- | | router |-----| firewall |-----| router | | | | | | | +----------+ +----------+ +----------+ | | | +----------+ | Internal | | network | | | +----------+ What I already have done: I have added the following rule: iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -s 192.168.1.1 -p udp --sport 1025 --dport 2071 -j DNAT --to 192.168.2.255 The logging changed: Dec 21 09:42:01 firewall kernel: IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:08:00:4e:a6:f5:74:08:00 SRC=192.168.1.1 DST=192.168.2.255 LEN=116 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=42284 PROTO=UDP SPT=1025 DPT=2071 LEN=96 But no packets went out, at least that I couldn't see after adding a LOG-rule at OUTPUT and FORWARD. Is there an easy way to solve this or do I need a relaying-program (like dhcp)?
