[wplug] Newbie Iptables question.

[Kubbie]

I was able to get the game to become visable to others in the list of other
game servers by typing the following...

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p udp --dport 2302:2304 -j
DNAT --to-destination game_machine_ip

But the ping never showed up next to my game name in the list, nor could
anyone connect.

This is the info from  iptables -L .

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Run the command "/sbin/iptables -L" and let us know what the output is.
