Hi
I want to dnat a ip to another ip on port 80

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 202.141.xxx.28 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 202.141.xxx.29

after this i have done
root@mail root]# service iptables status
Table: nat
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
DNAT tcp -- anywhere 202.141.xxx.28 tcp dpt:http to:202.141.xxx.29

Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Table: filter
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination


But when i know want to see the webpage of 202.141.xxx.28 it show the page in 202.141.xxx.28 machine instead of showin that of 202.141.xxx.29

what should i do so that i can see the webpage of 202.141.xxx.29 machine asking for 202.141.xxx.28.
Thanks

the rule looks fine,

have you activated ip forwarding ?

also you could try

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 202.141.xxx.29

just in case your connection isnt comming in on the interface your trying to redirect from.

if i just see the 202.141.xxx.29 directly i can see the webpage. But is not redirectd from 202.141.xxx.28.
Please send me accrosssteps to be done.
