so trying to forward some port ranges for battlefield 3 to run properly can some one just check my rules and maybe point out what im doing wrong ?!
for example..one of the ranges im trying to forward udp 14000-14016 to my gaming rig with static address 192.168.100.51 and br0 is my bridge interface's which my pc is hardwired into.
so i would input
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -i br0 --dport 14000:14016 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.100.51
and then
iptables -A FORWARD -p udp -s 192.168.100.51 --dport 1400:14016 -j ACCEPT
...as i write this i think i may need to make the prerouting interface eth3 wich is my wan interface .....
other than that ..am i way off or what ?! bf3 still says Disconected from EA server every time i go to play a game !
..there are about 3 other ranges of TCP and UDP ports that i also am trying to forward .. but same rules different protocol and port range..
Im going to use different firewall/router software soon but in the mean time i would like to get this working.
**edit ..all policy's are DROP
**EDIT you can delete this thread bone head error i was using wrong interface in prerouting...derp.
