Hi, I've Problems to match a 255.255.255.255 Packet on the nat Chain. If i use the mangle Chain I see the Packet but on the nat Chain it look like the nat Chain does not receive the Packet. gotia:~# tcpdump -i eth0 udp and dst 255.255.255.255 and port 6111 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 22:47:52.797757 IP 192.168.0.26.6111 > 255.255.255.255.6111: UDP, length: 20 22:47:53.799741 IP 192.168.0.26.6111 > 255.255.255.255.6111: UDP, length: 20 22:47:54.800352 IP 192.168.0.26.6111 > 255.255.255.255.6111: UDP, length: 20 3 packets captured 3 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel gotia:~# iptables -t nat -L -n -v Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT 281 packets, 13556 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 0 0 DNAT udp -- eth0 * 0.0.0.0/0 255.255.255.255 udp spt:6111 dpt:6111 to:192.168.0.25:6111 Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT 1 packets, 90 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 284 13816 MASQUERADE all -- * eth1 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 8 packets, 616 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination gotia:~# I'm using iptables 1.2.11-10 and Kernel 2.6.10-1-k7 Is this a Bug or am I simply to stupid to create a Rule? with regards -- Sebastian Docktor <sebi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
