Hi all,

            This is my first dealings with firewalls and I’m trying to get an understanding. Here’s the senerio:

10.0.0.1 outside net on eth0

192.168.0.1 inside net on eth1

 

Running VNC on port 5800, user requests telnet 10.0.0.117 5800 and I want to send to 192.168.0.17:5800. Port forward is on. Do I use the following?

 

# Preroute DNAT to 192.168.0.17:5800

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -d 10.0.0.117 --dport 5800 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.17:5800

 

# Forward packets

iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -p tcp -o eth1 -d 192.168.0.17 --dport 5800 -j ACCEPT

 

# Allow for replies

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -p tcp -s 192.168.0.17 --sport 5800 -j SNAT --to 10.0.0.117:5800

 

Is this correct or am I heading way off track? Do I need to do more or less? I’m just not getting it, lol. Thanks.

 

Scottie
