Greetings (once again) I sent a e-mail a few weeks ago about port forwarding not working right, and got a respose, and I got it to work. But, of course something had to happen. The hard drive in that machine died today so I had to re-format, and now the port forwarding isn't working again. These are the 3 lines in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local /usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 208.142.86.2 5900 -R 192.168.0.2 5900 /usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 208.142.86.2 9999 -R 192.168.0.3 6499 /usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 208.142.86.2 9998 -R 192.168.0.4 3389 and when I do a port scan from another box; [thall@wampa thall]$ nmap 208.142.86.2 -p 1-9999 Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA22 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) Interesting ports on (208.142.86.2): (The 9995 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port State Service 22/tcp open ssh 5900/tcp filtered vnc 9998/tcp open unknown 9999/tcp filtered unknown Only 9998 is open, the other 2 are filtered, so I only can reach that box, and not the others, yet the line is the same. Anyone have any ideas?
