Hi all, I am trying to send in my tax-stuff through the internet. Unfortunately the program is for ms-windose. That is running on an old spare machine which connects to the internet through my linux machine. I have an iptables firewall running. Regular http-calls and so on run through the firewall without a problem. But the (dutch) tax-program complains that it cannot connect because of a problem with 'windows sockets'. The recommended solution in the help-function is to temporarily shut down the firewall (right).
Is there someone here that can tell me how to make the tax-program communicate? Is there something special about iptables and windows sockets? I already tried running the program with the firewall accepting just about anything (as long as forwarding is on): $iptables -F FORWARD $iptables -F -t nat $iptables -P FORWARD DROP $iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -j ACCEPT $iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -j ACCEPT $iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -j ACCEPT $iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT $iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE $iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth1 -j ACCEPT $iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -j ACCEPT but that does not do it either. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance... Paul -- Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race. - H.G.
