no Sascha, it was not the problem with protocol. And yes, i added -t nat to the rule, it was a typing error that i missed it in the post. for DNAT, I reckon, it is not necessary to add protocol, unless port number is specified. The problem was with strtoull function, I changed it to strtoul and it works fine. thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sascha Reissner" <sascha.reissner@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Salim" <salim.si@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2005 4:43 PM Subject: Re: iptables: can't set any ip address in rules > Argh, i mean please add a protocol to the rule, and add the nat table to > the rule.. you always use -t but you do not specify the nat table.. in > your rules "-t" should be replaced with "-t nat" > > regards, > sascha > > Salim wrote: > > this issue has been solved. seems like 'unsigned long long' doesn't work on > > my system. changed 'strtoull' to 'strtoul'.
