I'm trying to find out why the DNAT is dropping packets without any reason in a certain configuration. One difference between a working machine and a machine that drops packets is a ^N in the TRACE output on the 2nd line where the packet enters the mangle table (after "mangle:PREROUTING:rule:2 ^N") Non-working machine: Oct 18 21:02:08 panoramix TRACE: raw:PREROUTING:policy:2 IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:1e:58:df:ae:04:00:10:a4:ed:a1:e8:08:00 SRC=192.0.0.1 DST=192.0.0.3 LEN=60 TOS=10 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=5684 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=39276 DPT=22 SEQ=3759103341 ACK=0 WINDOW=5840 SYN URGP=0 Oct 18 21:02:08 panoramix TRACE: mangle:PREROUTING:rule:2 ^N IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:1e:58:df:ae:04:00:10:a4:ed:a1:e8:08:00 SRC=192.0.0.1 DST=192.0.0.3 LEN=60 TOS=10 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=5684 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=39276 DPT=22 SEQ=3759103341 ACK=0 WINDOW=5840 SYN URGP=0 Working machine: Oct 18 21:13:06 fw1 TRACE: raw:PREROUTING:policy:2 IN=eth3 OUT= MAC=00:15:17:f4:41:47:80:71:1f:3c:f2:81:08:00 SRC=92.68.12.178 DST=213.125.58.53 LEN=84 TOS=00 PREC=0x20 TTL=51 ID=0 DF PROTO=ICMP TYPE=8 CODE=0 ID=1322 SEQ=1 Oct 18 21:13:06 fw1 TRACE: mangle:PREROUTING:rule:2 IN=eth3 OUT= MAC=00:15:17:f4:41:47:80:71:1f:3c:f2:81:08:00 SRC=92.68.12.178 DST=213.125.58.53 LEN=84 TOS=00 PREC=0x20 TTL=51 ID=0 DF PROTO=ICMP TYPE=8 CODE=0 ID=1322 SEQ=1 Does this ^N have a special meaning, or is it an indication to where the problem is?
