Hi. I have the following schema: [A] [Pc] (80) => (80) [Router] (80) => (80) [Server] [B] [Pc] (80) => (80) [Proxy] ¿? => (80) [Router] (80) => (80) [Server] More data: -The server has iptables and Apache -The router has port 80 tcp redirected to the server Troubleshooting: -When I 'switch on' iptables, schema [B] fails (schema [A] always works fine) -When I 'switch off' iptables, schema [B] works fine The output: ************************ iptables -S *************************** -P INPUT ACCEPT -P FORWARD ACCEPT -P OUTPUT ACCEPT -A INPUT -s public_ip_1/32 -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A

**************************************** end *******************************************+ Notice there are 2 different ip's: public_ip_2 and public_ip_1. Maybe there is the key... Can anybody helps me to make iptables let pass the traffic to the schema [B]? PD: I tested two simillar schemas [b]: two machines from inside a proxy, and the two machines failed to connect to server. Thanks in advice.
