[SOLVED] iptables -- ip address range switch not working.

[ajnabi]

I have the following in my iptables script:

/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp -s 209.216.2.211 --dport 10000:20000 -j ACCEPT

when I run it I get:

iptables v1.4.7: host/network `209.216.2.202-209.216.2.205' not found
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

replacing "-s" with "--src-range" gives the following error:
iptables v1.4.7: unknown option `--src-range'

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

SOLVED:

The problem was with my understanding of what the -m switch was.

the following worked:

/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m iprange --src-range 209.216.2.202-209.216.2.205 --dport 5061 -j ACCEPT

Hope that helps someone else.
