I certainly don't understand what you mean here, however, if one does not know what do to one can do; www.google.com/linux Type in the search engine something like "iptables portforward 80" You get from the above 40+ hits one which i think explains most of what you need is; http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/3/2002/10/4/32933 > I have examined /etc/sysctl.conf and see that port forwarding is turned on. The simple linux command here is; cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward It should say 1 If it is 0 (zero) then one can do; echo 1> /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to turn it on, the proc interface is a wonderfull place. > > Can somebody point me in the right direction as to what file I must > configure, or what commands I must use to forward port 80 to 192.168.10.28? > > I have tried from an external terminal, and I can't even access the server > (ie. 209.185.555.123).
