NAT with REDIRECT fuck up...

Hey ppl..

I have of cause searched before posting, but havent found anything simmilar..

Short story is that i want to redirect proxy request to host1:9001 to host2:3128, host2 is a bridge i'm on eth1 and host1 is on eth0

My intenstion is to catch all request to host1:9001 and redirect them to host2:3128.

iptables command:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128

This worked at first, but stopped working just like that..

I have sniffed on it, and attached it here.. 12kb Ethercap format

It looks really fucked up, check sum error and so on...

Anyone have any idea why it's fucking up?

according to packet 6 in your capture, your proxy requires authentication. you cannot combine authentication and transparent proxying; which will makes perfect sense if you think about it long enough.

as far as the checksum errors go--do you have an IP bound to br0?

PS - amongst my friends i have a mouth like a sailor, but i don't see how it's appropriate to set a subject line as you did, no matter how frustrated you may be.

No its far more stupid then that, in a tired nightly hour I did set netmask 255.255.255.0 on br0 where it should be 255.0.0.0, when my client tryes to reach the proxy at port 3128 i HAS to go througt my gateway since it the only way thay can reach each other. Strangely enough thay can.

Natually it will generate errors when the bridge tryed to trick the client posing af the gateway.

Thanks anyway.

Sorry about that, no fence meant by it...

I'am very happy with IPTables and respect those how contributed to it. Thanks guys.
