question on port-forwarding

[satimis]

Hi folks

Host Debian 5.0
KVM - virtualizer
Guest - Debian 5.04

I need to set up port-forwarding to run

$ rdesktop 192.168.0.10:3389

to connect the guest.


On /etc/sysctl.conf already ucomment;
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1


and add following 2 lines on /etc/rc.local
/sbin/iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables --table nat -A POSTROUTING


But I can't find /sbin/iptables the execute file. Please help. TIA

Sounds uggly. I'm not familiar with Debian - but iptables should be installed all the time.

apt-get install iptable??

If not you could always do some magical ssh tunneling!

ssh -v -L 3389:192.168.0.10:3389 user@serverIP

then you would issue rdesktop as follows: rdesktop 127.0.0.1:3389

Hi folks,

Thanks for your advice.

Problem solved. It was because I haven't installed RDP server, xrdp on the guest.
