Hi, As I said earlier I am using Mdk Linux 8.2 with kernel 2.4.18. I am trying to shift from ipchains to iptables for a simple reson that I cannot connect to one particular ftp site where ip_masq_ftp was required in earlier versions of kernel. Now this module is no longer available. So, I have to shift to iptables since connecting to that site is really imp. But I am having a problem. I read briefly NAT and iptables HOWTOs and decided the rule, iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
My loaded modules by lsmod include, ipt_MASQUERADE 1504 5 (autoclean) iptable_mangle 2336 0 (autoclean) (unused) iptable_nat 15988 1 (autoclean) [ipt_MASQUERADE] ip_conntrack 15180 1 (autoclean) [ipt_MASQUERADE iptable_nat] iptable_filter 1952 0 (autoclean) ip_tables 11584 6 [ipt_MASQUERADE iptable_mangle iptable_nat iptable_filter] But my problem is that inspite of giving the above command I have, #iptables --list Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination What is wrong now? Why is'nt my rule listed? I even have 1 in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward. Please do tell as early as possible or atleast tell me how to get it working under ipchains. Thanks a lot in advance and bye. -Payal p.s i have some problems with my present email address, it would be great if you can cc the mail to payal99 @ cyberspace.org
