1) Allow INPUT into filter table to the port.
2) Allow FORDWARD into filter table to the redirected conection.
Good luck.

Hi everyone I'm a bit new to iptables so please bear with me on this one ;)
I wrote a small firewall that basicaly nats users through my gateway machine only allowing certain hosts on my network Web DNS and Mail access.
This section works fine.
But I also want to port forward any connections from outside to port 800 to a host running inside my LAN.
I added a rule in the PREROUTING table to do this.
But it seems that no connection gets forwarded.
If I set my default policies to ACCEPT and add the PREROUTING rule it actualy does the port forwarding correctly.
I attached a copy of the firewall I wrote with this message.
Please can someone have a look through it for me cause I'm sure I'm just missing something.
Kind Regards Julian.
