Topic: IP Forwarding

[Peter]

I am trying to permit people outside of local network access a mail server behind E-Smith gateway to check email. So I wanted to IP forward port 110 to the internal IP where the mail server is.

Mail Server IP: 192.168.1.3 (Static)
External IP E-Smith: 64.231.11.45

So from the HOWTO document I got I loaded the rpm provided ( I assume once an rpm is installed it is always installed until uninstalled?)

Then I issued the following commands:

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop masq TCPforwards 110,192.168.1.3
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event remoteaccess-update

Now when I try to verify with:

/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -n -l

there are no entries in the table printed, just the headings.

There is something I am missing here but I am at a loss to know what.

Thanks.

Simple error in case.  Should be TCPForwards, not TCPforwards.
