RE: iptables: invalid arguement with kernel 2.6.5

["Det Buaklee" <det@dss.go.th>]

Thanks guys for pointing out, though I am still confused with the

doing NAT on my network what options should I use) .. I think am going
to read the man page more carefully..

REDIRECT should be done in the nat table, not the mangle table.
