Hi I have a gateway (CentOS) with eth0 and eth1 as interfaces. ?eth0? is exposed to WAN and ?eth1? to the LAN network , I want all POP3 packets coming in through the gateway wan interface (eth0) to be redirected to the PS1(192.168.242.129 inside the lan) port 8110 . I had done some iptables settings as iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport pop3 -j DNAT --to 192.168.242.129:8110 iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 8110 -d 192.168.242.129 -j ACCEPT In this setup POP3 packets were not redirected to PS1 (192.168.242.129) ### >From the gateway iptables -L gives [root@gateway ~]# iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere LOG all -- anywhere anywhere LOG level warning ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere 192.168.242.129 tcp dpt:8110 Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ### Guidance requested Thanks Joseph John ___________________________________________________________ Try the all-new Yahoo!
