three line guide to "port-forwarding:"
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $EXT_IF -p tcp --dport $OUTSIDE_PORT \
-j DNAT --to-destination $INSIDE_HOST_IP:$INSIDE_PORT
iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i $EXT_IF -p tcp --syn \
-d $INSIDE_HOST_IP --dport $INSIDE_PORT -j ACCEPT
where example values for all the variables are:
EXT_IF="eth0"
OUTSIDE_PORT="80"
INSIDE_HOST_IP="192.168.1.3"
INSIDE_PORT="8080"
HTH...
