IPTABLES "iptables: No chain/target/match by that name."


Hey everyone, I just installed squid on my linux gateway, and when I add the following rules to redirect web traffic to pass through the squid proxy I get the following error when running my firewall script:
"iptables: No chain/target/match by that name."

I actually get that error returned twice when running the script. Once for each of the following lines:

#Squid
$IPT -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp ! -d 192.168.0.0/24 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.1:3128
$IPT -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp ! -d 192.168.0.0/24 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128

As soon as I comment out the two lines above and re-run my firewall script, I do not receive the two errors.

If needed, here are the kernal options I set within my script:

#Setup our kernel options
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses

Any ideas?

You haven't specified the nat table.
By default, if no table is specified, iptables assumes the filter table, and there is no PRE/POSTROUTING chains in the filter table.
So it should look like:
Code:
$IPT -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp ! -d 192.168.0.0/24 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.1:3128

Wow! I am embarrassed that I did not catch that. I appreciate you pointing that out though! I guess I will blame it on the fact that I have been staring at iptables for the past couple days.

Thanks again!
