Marian, I'm very happy you're online :)I think I have try the record you mention just now. And I would like to clear what I have done (the scripts I test):/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -j DNAT -p tcp --dport 8080 --to a.b.c.d:8181 /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j SNAT -s 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 --to 192.168.1.250 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_fowardThen it's not to work!
