Hi everybody, I have an internal host (192.168.0.7) running Apache on port 80. I want to forward connections from outside to the host my_firewall, tcp port 80, to this internal Apache server. The firewall runs a 2.2.20 linux kernel, and I use the following commands which are accepted by my_firewall without any comment, and well listed with the command ipmasqadm portfw -l : ipmasqadm portfw -f ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L $extip 80 -R 192.168.0.7 80 (here $extip is the external IP adress of my_firewall). Now, when I try to connect to my_firewall through a browser by typing his IP adress $extip, it gives me the following message : "the connection was refused when attempting to contact $extip". I expected to be connected to 192.168.0.7 of course. I also tryed the ipmasqadm mfw tool, combined with an ipchains command according to the man ipmasqadm, with exactly the same result. And the echo "1">/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward does not change anything. I absolutly have no idea of the reason of this connection refused. Can you help me ?
