I am trying to do port forwarding and I just can't seem to get it to work. I hope that someone can help. Machine 1 is running RHEL AS 4.4 with the 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp kernel. iptables has been running as my firewall since I set it up. I am trying to get anything that comes in to port 3389 on "Machine 1" to go to "Machine2" at a different location. Lets say for this that the IP of "Machine1" is 70.70.70.70 and the remote machine ("Machine 2") that I want to forward to is 209.209.209.209. I am assuming that I don't have to do anything on "Machine2" except make sure the firewall for that port is opened to "Machine 1". I have done the following on "Machine 1": echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward Here is my /etc/sysconfig/iptables file from "Machine 1". This is not the one that I would normally use because it is to open, but am for testing. #################### # Generated by iptables-save v1.2.11 on Wed Dec 19 10:50:11 2007 *nat :PREROUTING ACCEPT [3:536] :POSTROUTING ACCEPT [9:635] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [8:583] -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3389 -j DNAT --to-destination 209.209.209.209:80 COMMIT # Completed on Wed Dec 19 10:50:11 2007 # Generated by iptables-save v1.2.11 on Wed Dec 19 10:50:11 2007 *mangle :PREROUTING ACCEPT [318:24902] :INPUT ACCEPT [312:24214] :FORWARD ACCEPT [3:152] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [276:32613] :POSTROUTING ACCEPT [279:32765] COMMIT # Completed on Wed Dec 19 10:50:11 2007 # Generated by iptables-save v1.2.11 on Wed Dec 19 10:50:11 2007 *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [276:32613] :RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0] -A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A FORWARD -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3389 -j ACCEPT -A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -j LOG --log-prefix "BANDWIDTH_OUT:" --log-level 7 -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i eth0 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -d 224.0.0.251 -p udp -m udp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited COMMIT # Completed on Wed Dec 19 10:50:11 2007 #################### Thanks Steve -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
