Trying to change over to iptables,

I can load iptables and it seems to be working, but it is not masking the internal ip address.

iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

a look at trafshow shows the masked clients ip address and the destination address. but nothing is making it back to the client. I am not at all familiar with iptables, but I need to do some port forwarding and I cannot get ipmasqadm to work with my 2.4.2-2 kernel.

Anybody doing port forwarding on this kernal with ipchains?

You might want to set the FORWARD policy to ACCEPT. I was having the same problem with DROP set. I still haven't figured out how to get it working with DROP >:-(

I hope this helps

Thanks, I will try that when I get back home. I had to go to work for a few weeks.
