I'm trying to get asterisk IAX protocol to be routed properly. This is UDP packets destined for port 4569. I need them to be sent out from the box at eth1 with source 192.168.100.1 (internal net at eth0 is 10.0.0.0/24) the nat/postrouting table looks like this (i waited for about 10 minutes to make sure the UDP conntrack 'session' is reseted): Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT 2454 packets, 136K bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 0 0 SNAT udp -- * eth1 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:1194 to:192.168.100.1 0 0 SNAT udp -- * eth1 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:5060 to:192.168.100.1 1 53 SNAT udp -- * eth1 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:4569 to:192.168.100.1 0 0 SNAT udp -- * eth1 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:3478 to:192.168.100.1 84 5040 SNAT tcp -- * eth1 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpts:1024:32000 to:192.168.100.2 248 13976 SNAT udp -- * eth1 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpts:1024:32000 to:192.168.100.2 0 0 SNAT all -- * eth1 10.0.0.251 0.0.0.0/0 to:192.168.100.2 106 6783 SNAT all -- * eth1 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 to:192.168.100.3 but if i run a tcpdump: irongate:~# tcpdump -ni eth1 udp port 4569 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on eth1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 19:56:41.784463 IP 10.0.0.250.4569 > 84.16.64.240.4569: UDP, length: 25 19:56:43.785641 IP 10.0.0.250.4569 > 84.16.64.240.4569: UDP, length: 25 2 packets captured 2 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel so the packets still leave the box with the source 10.0.0.250 (and not 192.168.100.1 as I want them to). Any suggestions what i could be doing wrong? Marek
