I hate to ask the obvious, but is anything actually listening on port 3389
on the desination machine? This woulnd't be LDAP would it?


It is for Remote Desktop on a Windows XP Client. The whole reason for this script is we are trying to get remote desktop access to a couple of employees. I haven't quite figured out the next step of how to get multiple machines to be routed to for the same port. This is a little too soon to ask, but do you think this would work:

SERVICES="... tcp:8001:192.168.0.117:3389 tcp:8002:192.168.0.118:3389 tcp:8003:192.168.0.119:3389 tcp:8004:192.168.0.120:3389 tcp:8005:192.168.0.121:3389"??

As Doran pointed out, if you are using these rules, then from an outside box you would do:


telnet your.firewall.ip 8001

to get to 192.168.0.117:3389.  Do you see?  Doing:

telnet your.firewall.ip 3389

does nothing, because you firewall is listening on port 8001 and forwarding all packets bound for that port to 192.168.0.117:3389. Does that make sense?
