Re: iptables: can't set any ip address in rules

["Salim" <salim.si@askey.com.tw>]

no Sascha, it was not the problem with protocol. And yes, i added -t nat to
the rule, it was a typing error that i missed it in the post.
for DNAT, I reckon, it is not necessary to add protocol, unless port number
is specified.
The problem was with strtoull function, I changed it to strtoul and it works
fine.
thanks
