Something like: iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -p tcp --dport 88 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -p udp --dport 88 -j ACCEPT For debug purposes, make a logndrop chain and use that on all DROP rules, so that tail -f /var/log/messages will show what is going on. iptables -n logndrop iptables -A logndrop -j LOG --log-level info iptables -A logndrop -j DROP Then whenever you suspect that a DROP rule will dump the wrong stuff, use -j logndrop as the target, to make the packet show up in the /var/log/messages file, something like this: iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 135 -j logndrop Once the script is debugged and working, add a # to the second line of the logndrop chain to stop the logging. Hope this helps. Herman On Monday 03 November 2003 1:58 pm, Rohit Kumar Mehta wrote: > Hi guys, I was wondering if someone could help me out here.
