Re: a little help on iptables

Hi Luca

It could be easier to give you a hand if you provides us with the
output of: ifconfig; route -n and iptables -L (and iptables -L -t nat)

you call always try to execute the following:
route add default gateway x.x.x.x netmask y.y.y.y ethX
for the default gateway and:
route add -net z.z.z.z netmask k.k.k.k dev ethY
for the other route

Hope it helps
