Hi; First of all, I'd like to say hello to everybody in this mailing list. I am a newbie to linux and iptables.
Here is a problem I encounter while I am using iptables, and need your kind assistance to solve it. Maybe it's not related to iptables, but I think all of your are guru on linux network configuration, so ... Two PCs in my house, they consist of one LAN (192.168.0.1 - linux, 192.168.0.2 - windows). I set up one with RedHat Linux 7.2 installed and use ppp to connect to internet. To share the internet resource, I simply use: -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE as iptables' option to realize ip masquerade. It works nearly perfect till one day I noticed I am not able to access newsgroup (which uses port 119) and some special ports (like 5555 or 3333 or 6666, you know, I am a zealot on some MUD game.) what may be the root cause for this issue? Please kindly help me to correct this problem. thanks. spartan chan ______________________________________ =================================================================== ������ѵ������� (http://mail.sina.com.cn) ���˷�����Ϣ�����ɶ��ģ���������,����Ϣ������!
