Hello there!

I've been setting up my firewall, but as I started it my external (remote)
clients couldn't anymore connect to my AS/400.
The situation is like this: my central LAN is connected to other 4 LANs via
router (dial-up). My LinuxBox is the gateway for all the traffic done on
these LANs. I've put the default policies to be DROP for both INPUT and
FORWARD chains, and ACCEPT for OUTPUT chain. I've set up some rules to
accept traffic on the INPUT and FORWARD chains. Now, I also put a specific
line to allow incoming traffic to my AS/400. Its IP is 192.168.0.200, so I
added:

$IPT -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
$IPT -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
$IPT -A FORWARD -m state --state NEW -d 192.168.0.200 -i eth0 -j ACCEPT

eth0 is my LAN interface, eth1 the one connecting me to my router (outside
world). IPT is (obviously) iptables.

What am I doing wrong? Why is my AS/400 only working from inside my LAN?

Thanx for every suggestion...
