Re: problems with iptables redirect of ssh

Yeah, thanks you were right! It does not work for localhost. Now, more
difficult: if I'd like to forward ssh to another host, the following line
should work

$IPTABLES -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 2222  -j DNAT --to
192.168.1.4:22

but when I try to connect from another host to the port 2222 I get blocked
(i.e., the connection waits) and nothing happens.....Any suggestion?

Thanks,
Luca
