FORWARD

FORWARD

[Jerry Alexander]

Dear NF:

           Had FORWARD"ing working a couple of weeks ago.
           Other than loading the modules,  echo'ing "1" to ip_forward
and entering a "iptables -A FORWARD ...."   it worked fine.
           Ran "ping" and  "iperf" and captured the packets on ethereal and
could see the additional packets.
           Have tried  with a kernel with everything built in and a kernel
where I loaded the modules.
            It worked with no hassles when I tried it before and now
for the life of me, can't figure out why it just doesn't work.
           What is strange is that  setting "-t nat -A PREROUTING" and
changing the destination address works fine!
            Not sure what else to try since it doesn't take much to get
it working(when it works!).
           Appreciate the help.

                                                     thanks,
                                                            Jerry
