I want to forward a connection to the router (192.168.0.1:1600) to 192.168.0.2:23 which from the Internet works fine, however if I connect from a LAN machine (192.168.0.3) to the router on port 1600 I get a "Connection timed out". I use the following rule:

iptables -I PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp --dport 1600 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.2:23

I don't see anything wrong with this, or am I forgetting something?

wkg,
