Hi all! I want to open and forward a port on my gateway kinda dynamically. I.e. I want to open port 3898/TCP and forward it to 192.168.1.48.
As far as I got the manuals right this can be done using iptables. So I wrote a small batch file which is using 3 parameters, the IP adress and the port. This batch is to be called when I need it, so after the connection of my gateway is already established. Calling "./portfwd 192.168.1.48 3898 TCP" should do the trick. Here's my batch... iptables -A xtaccess -p $3 --dport $2 -j ACCEPT iptables -A portfwf -p $3 -m state --state NEW -d $1 --dport $2 -j ACCEPT But it doesn't seem to work, although there are no error messages at all. :/ The rules are visible, when i use "iptables --list". Any hints someone? Would be great. Olly.
