Hi all, I'm an absolute beginner on the netfilter stuff, so please bear with me here. We have a device running linux 2.6.19 kernel with iptables installed. It acts a a gateway for a another mobile device that connects to linux device via irda port - ppp connection. I've managed to port forward telnet port to mobile device with the help of this page http://kreiger.linuxgods.com/kiki/?Port+forwarding+with+netfilter. Our customers want to be able to ping the mobile device behind the linux firewall and IMHO it is not possible for ICMP packets to be forwarded since it is a protocol by itself (not a TCP/UDP style service). Is it possible to 'port forward' ICMP requests? Thank you, HK -- Hinko Kočevar, OSS developer ČETRTA POT, d.o.o.
