iptables Problem
 
Hi everybody,

I'm learning LINUX and trying to set up a firewall server. I configure a LAN which has 3 computers: Middle computer (LINUX OS, firewall server) has 2 Ethenet cards and assigned IPAddresses 10.9.9.1, 10.7.7.1. This computer connects to 2 computer using Ethenet cards --> 2 computers have IPAddresses: 10.9.9.2 and 10.7.7.2

Let say 10.7.7.2 pretends to be Internet and 10.9.9.2 is my Apache Web Server (DMZ). From 10.7.7.2, I open a browser and type 10.7.7.1 --> I expect to see Apache page which belongs to 10.9.9.2. I configured iptables as below:

Code:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 10.7.7.1 --dport http -j DNAT --to-destination 10.9.9.2
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -d 10.9.9.2 --dport http -j SNAT --to-source 10.9.9.1
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d 10.9.9.1 --dport http -j DNAT --to-destination 10.9.9.2
What's wrong with my configuration. It drove me crazy more than a week and I dont know what I have to do, just a simple firewall plz.

im sure you would have to have rules for forwarding in the script so that the kernel
knows to allow forwarding



iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT


iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -j ACCEPT


Im no iptables expert but from what i have read it looks like you'll need those policies
set right at the top of the script


Hope this help's

Also perhaps try using a firewall script generator eg. easyfwgen

angel_hva 08-09-2005 05:39 AM
Thanks, in fact I don't have any DENY rule in my iptables and I dont know what the reason is? Any body help? What was wrong with my IP Addresses?

Are all the computers on the same physical network? Please post the output of 'ifconfig'.

Here 10.32.17.111 equivalent with 10.7.7.1 as I said and I have a computer 10.32.17.8 equivalent to 10.7.7.2

angel_hva 08-12-2005 05:31 AM
By the way, if I ping from 10.7.7.2:
ping 10.9.9.2 => unreachable

I'm sure I dont have any deny rule in my iptables (INPUT, OUTPUT, FORWARD)

Matir 08-12-2005 09:02 AM
It looks like it might be a kernel routing table issue. What's the output of route?

angel_hva 08-18-2005 06:47 AM
Can you tell me in detail what should I do? Thanks.

Matir 08-18-2005 12:22 PM
Type 'route' in the console and paste the output here.

angel_hva 08-19-2005 02:20 AM

angel_hva 08-26-2005 02:11 AM
Matir, still with me?

Anybody help?
