Normally I wouldn't have a problem with this but I'm doing something a bit different than I would normally do. I have a RHEL5 server with one NIC that is being used as a router. My problem is that I can't seem to completely forward requests off of this box using iptables. If I specify a port redirection to a local port, it works fine but when I specify forwarding that port to another machine, it fails. I think the request is being sent through but the response isn't making it back to me. I can have a clean iptables to start and only need to execute one command to make the local forward work and since I'm not technically using the machine as a gateway, I'm not sure if all the INPUT, OUTPUT and FORWARD chain commands are necessary. 10.117.1.205 is the server in question 10.117.1.203 is the server I am trying to forward to Working command: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 1524 -i eth0 -j DNAT --to 10.117.1.205:22 Using telnet to test: telnet 10.117.1.205 1524 Trying 10.117.1.205... Connected to -----------. Escape character is '^]'. SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3 Failing command: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 1524 -i eth0 -j DNAT --to 10.117.1.203:1524 Telnet never completes: telnet 10.117.1.205 1524 Trying 10.117.1.205... Any help is appreciated.
