Hi Amit, > I have just installed and configured Squid proxy service on Suse > Linux 10.0.

Put the iptables rules in a separate script in /etc/init.d/ and create the symbolic links in the corresponding runlevel directories using insserv. A template for the script is /etc/init.d/skeleton. > But still the NAT doesnt work on this server. Please direct me > and thanks in advance. Check the settings for the NAT table using iptables -L -t nat Just "iptables -L" will not show your NAT settings.
