Hi everyone I'm a bit new to iptables so please bear with me on this one ;) I wrote a small firewall that basicaly nats users through my gateway machine only allowing certain hosts on my network Web DNS and Mail access. This section works fine. But I also want to port forward any connections from outside to port 800 to a host running inside my LAN. I added a rule in the PREROUTING table to do this. But it seems that no connection gets forwarded. If I set my default policies to ACCEPT and add the PREROUTING rule it actualy does the port forwarding correctly. I attached a copy of the firewall I wrote with this message. Please can someone have a look through it for me cause I'm sure I'm just missing something. Kind Regards Julian.
