when i try to add a rule to iptables it gives me an error.

Code:

pacificxlinux ~ # iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -i ${WAN} -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.1
Warning: wierd character in interface `-j' (No aliases, :, ! or *).
Bad argument `DNAT'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

I dont understand why that doesnt work. I copied it out of http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml

help appreciated

Did you copy everything from that example? ${WAN} won't translate properly if you didn't do "export WAN=eth1" from the shell. What does echo $WAN output? _________________ Quis separabit? Quo animo?
