Sunday, March 2, 2003 @ 1:52:30 AM Central Standard Time Hello, and a good day to you all. I have a question for you all. I am operating a Smoothwall box as my firewall/router at my house. I would like to open/forward incoming transmissions on ports 28800-29100 to a box behind the firewall. Smoothwall has a nice little web interface to config its services, but the port forwarding part of the interface only allows for one value at a time. I would need to add each port # & IP # one by one (using the web interface). I read through all the Smoothwall docs, and their was no mention of howto forward multiple ports (without having to add each value one by one). I fired a similar message to this one to this group, but did not see any response. I piped into the Smoothwall group, and fired the same question. I received two responses. The first response advised that the option I seek is available in the Smoothwall commercial version. Smoothwall would be more than happy to hook me up with that version as soon as I whip out my credit card. No Good... The 2nd response advised that I could write my own code in Perl to allow for such functions. Unfortunately, I do not know Perl at the moment. Stuck again. I tooled around the system & found the file that contains the port forwarding values. My New Question now is, can I make a script that will add all these values for me? The syntax of the file looks like: tcp,0.0.0.0/0,1214,192.168.1.100,1214,on the 0.0.0.0/0,1214 is any incoming tcp on port 1214 the 192.168.1.100,1214 is my box behind the wall #(if I have offending anyone by these past few lines, I will make sure # I am slacked for the offense to your superior intellect.) Is there a way I can make a script that would add each line to the config file for all the ports from 28800-29100 tcp,0.0.0.0/0,28800,192.168.1.100,28800 add line by line through to tcp,0.0.0.0/0,29100,192.168.1.100,29100 Any suggestions on what command or commands I could check out to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.
