I am new to this list and to iptables generally. I have a line I am trying to translate into a current iptables line that will work in my firewall. ' DNAT net loc:192.168.0.147 udp 5198,5199 ' If anyone could venture a thought as to how that might be translated into a current iptables statement I would really appreicate it. I have tried - iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -d 192.168.0.1 -p tcp --dport 5198:5199 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.147 That doesn't appear to work so obviously I have not interpreted that line correctly.. --- The big cities of America are becoming Third World countries. -- Nora Ephron Ted Gervais Coldbrook Nova Scotia Canada B4R1A7
