allowing bittorrent through an ipchains firewall
 

I'm new and I'm trying to allow bittorrent through my ipchains firewall.

I've found the command that will allow it to work through iptables i.e.

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 6881:6889 -j DNAT --to-destination <host>

if anyone knows the ipchain command that will help, it will be appreciated

thanks

Port forwarding is an ugly beast in ipchains. This HOWTO might be helpfull:

Better yet, upgrade to a version of linux that has iptables support ;)
