iptables NAT still does not have a conntrack to handle the embedded
netbios addresses for a NATed subnet. Basically you cannot use iptables
NAT if there are MS networking hosts on any NATed subnet. Is anyone
working on this now?
I am very puzzled by this because I find very few networks that don't
have at least some MS Windows workstations. Even more puzzled since the
iptables.org group is also the Samba group for making unix/linux
interoperate with MS and iptables is not compatible with MS. Cisco,
Checkpoint and other commercial proprietary firewalls handle netbios
thru NAT.
If I have missed the fix to this problem somewhere I would love to be
corrected.
