Hi, I have a router<->firewall<->LAN with the firewall being a Linux box. The firewall runs (among others) a webserver. When from within the LAN a webpage is requested with the external IP, the browser gives a time-out because the router freaks out when his own IP is requested from within.
What I would like to do is that queries made to the external IP $ext_ip from the LAN $lan_ip is forwarded to the server directly, $server_ip. I have rtfm and stfw and came up with the following two lines: $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i $lan_iface -s $lan_ip -d $ext_ip -j DNAT --to $server_ip $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $lan_iface -j MASQUERADE Another form I have been playing around with: $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -d $ext_ip -p tcp -j DNAT --to $server_ip $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d $server_ip -s $local_lan -p tcp -j SNAT --to $server_ip neither of them seem to work. I must be overlooking something. Can someone help? Thanks in advance, Sebastiaan -- NT is the OS of the future. The main engine is the 16-bit Subsystem (also called MS-DOS Subsystem). Above that, there is the windoze 95/98 16-bit Subsystem. Anyone can see that 16+16=32, so windoze NT is a *real* 32-bit system. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
