Hi List
It was my understanding that with the latest version of Iptables "--dport" which is an
alias for "--destination-port" is a legal argument. However, when i attempt to add the
below into the ruleset of iptables,
iptables -A INPUT -s 199.224.86.15 --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
...this is what is returned.
iptables v1.2.4: Unknown arg `--dport'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
I've recently upgraded these two packages expressly so that I would be able to utilize
iptables in this manner. I need to name the destination port on my machine so that my
ISP is able to send packets to my machine on port 53 and visaversa so my machine can
also connect to my ISP's DNS server. at the moment my firewall logs are littered with
entries of the two machines trying to talk to one another on each others port 53!
kernel-2.4.8-34.1mdk
iptables-1.2.4-1.1mdk
any suggestions?
