i was looking to correct the erros that i am doing
this is what i want to do
there are 3 machines
A- client machine
B- firewall
C -real proxy
all of them are on same network
now i have setup B as the proxy for A and at B i have used DNAT to specify to forward all requests to machine C on its proxy
i have these settings in my rules file for shorewall at B
DNAT lan lan:<ip of C>:3128 tcp
DNAT fw lan:<ip of C>:3128 tcp
the second rule which is for the firewall i.e B works fine i.e i can access the internet fine from B using B''s IP as my proxy server which forwards this to C
but other machines like A cannot connect to C wioth B's IP
they can connect if they cpecify C's IP in their proxy settings
i have the ACCEPT policy for all in my policy file
