iptables command returned with an error
 
Hi

While using Enterprise Linux 2.16.0, I keyed in the command

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 192.168.4.42/32 -j DNAT -to-destination 10.1.4.1
. I received the message - Bad argument '10.1.4.1' try 'iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

Any thoughts on why I am having a hard time in trying out the recommendation in http://thewiringcloset.wordpress.com...ble-snat-dnat/

Kind regards

The to-destination parameter requires two hyphens: --to-destination. I haven't tried it out, but could this be the cause of your trouble?
