Forwarding ports for emule - pofkezas - 2004-10-17

Hey there, I have my Linux box working as a gateway for my windows computer. How do I open ports so that my windows box will get a high ID on emule? My current iptables config is

Code:
# Generated by iptables-save v1.2.9 on Sun Oct 17 16:42:51 2004
*filter

and iptable -L gives me

Code:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp spt:telnet state ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp spt:4661 state ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp spt:4661 state ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp spt:4662 state ESTABLISHED

Chain FORWARD (policy DROP)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere            state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

What am I doing wrong here?

Quote:-A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 4661 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT-A INPUT -i ppp0 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 4661 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

-A INPUT -i ppp0 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 4662 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

Are you sure you want '--sport' (source port)? I'm not really into that eMule stuff but I am pretty sure you mean destination ports (like you used in the PREROUTING chain): '--dport'.

Quote:-A INPUT -i ppp0 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 23 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

What is that good for anyways (besides the '--sport' thing)? You only accept incoming telnet connections when they're already established - with INPUT's and OUTPUT's default policy ACCEPT. o_O

Quote:-A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 4661 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.0.254:4661

'iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport 4661 -j DNAT --to 10.0.0.254' is quite enough.

ok I kinda modified my config, it looks like this now:

Code:
# Generated by iptables-save v1.2.9 on Mon Oct 18 18:49:02 2004
*nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]

-A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE

But still I get a lowID on all servers.. Any ideas?

Forwarding ports for emule - z0ny - 2004-10-19

Code:
// Flush (clear) all relevant tables
iptables -F INPUT
iptables -F OUTPUT
iptables -F FORWARD
iptables -t nat -F PREROUTING
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING

// Setup the default policies
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT // you may want DROP here...
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD DROP // ...or even ACCEPT over here :)
iptables -t nat -P PREROUTING ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -P POSTROUTING ACCEPT

// Enable port routing
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport 4661 -j DNAT --to 10.0.0.254
// Enable port forwarding and in-to-out communication
iptables -I FORWARD -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport 4661 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -i eth1 -j ACCEPT
// Enable masquerading (NAT)
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -i eth1 -j MASQUERADE

Try it exactly like this before complaining again! [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_ph34r.png[/img] The paket enters your computer on 4661/tcp through ppp0 and enters the PREROUTING chain. This chain sends the paket (due to the above ruleset) to the FORWARD chain which allows the forwarding of 4661/tcp. Afterwards it will be sent to the POSTROUTING chain (where it won't be touch in this case). This should work... B)

Last line doesnt work

Code:
[root@amdbox root]# iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -i eth1 -j MASQUERADE
iptables v1.2.9: Can't use -i with POSTROUTING

Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

ok I got it.. kinda combined the code you z0ny gave me with my masquerade script so now my code looks like this:

Code:

EXTIF="ppp0"
INTIF="eth1"
                                                                                                              
                                                                                                              
$IPTABLES -P INPUT ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -F INPUT

$IPTABLES -t nat -P POSTROUTING ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE

Thanks alot for your help!
