    Hi all,

    I'm trying to set up some port forwarding with iptables. I want all
    traffic directed at eth0's IP address (the public interface) on tcp/8080
    to be redirected to an internal host on the same port. Here's what I've got:

    iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to
    192.168.135.210:8080
    iptables: Invalid argument

    iptables is v1.2.8, Linux is 2.4.20. Which argument is invalid? What
    have I done wrong?

    thanks a lot,
    alec
