    Code:
    iptables-save > /etc/iptables-rules
    
    Edit /etc/network/interfaces under your main interface add
    Code:
    pre-up /sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/iptables-rules

    Thanks
    first I type this command step by step
    Code:
    iptables --flush      
    
    Code:
    iptables --table nat --flush
    Code:
    iptables --delete-chain
    Code:
    iptables --table nat --delete-chain
    Code:
    iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface eth0 -j MASQUERADE
    Code:
    iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth1 -j ACCEPT
    Code:
    echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
    after that I run this command
    Code:
    iptables-save > /etc/iptables-rules
    and then I put this line

    Code:
    pre-up /sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/iptables-rules
    in

    Code:
    /etc/network/interfaces
    before

    Code:
    auto eth0
    and after description of eth0 , but after that I can not ssh to system and NAT does not work


    :eek: :eek:

    That goes under iface eth0 ....
    Note that the rules provided there are just for NAT no firewalling rules are entered.

    what is the output of the file ? To see why you cannot ssh in
    Code:
    cat /etc/iptables-rules
