Hello,
I'm trying to set up port forwarding in IPTABLES and so far it's working great from the internet, but when I attempt from my internal LAN using the External IP address, it fails.
EXTIF="eth0"
INTIF="eth1"
EXTIP="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
INTNET="192.168.1.0/24"
INTIP="192.168.1.1"
PORTFWIP="192.168.1.13"
From the internet, if I type in http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:81 it works.
When use a computer on my LAN and type in http://192.168.1.13:81 it works.
However, when i type in from a computer on my LAN: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:81 it does not.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Mike
