Hello all,

I need to access my linux box in my office from outside, for sure i will need to access ssh and mysql port...

I've look around the net but it seems making me confuse.. or maybe it because I use a diffrent equipment ???

We are using a wireless connection internet, our ip is 202.x.x.x

the router ip is 192.168.5.1

and my server is 192.168.5.2

I'm sure what I need is do something with Iptables PREROUTING.. but I couldn't make it so far..

I really need this thing working asap, and I don't have much time to surf around the net.

So please can anyone help me... please...

thx

Your office router has to be set to forward ports 22 tcp and 3306 tcp from external ip to your office server.

Asssuming your router is a linux system

you will need rules like

sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --dport 22 -j DNAT --to <localip>:22
sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --dport 3306 -j DNAT --to <localip>:3306

/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -d <localip> -j ACCEPT


edit /etc/sysctl.conf, set

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

and run

#/sbin/sysctl -p

wow.. that was quick... thanks a lot for your help.. I'll try it tommorrow.. first thing in the morning...

thanks again...
