The Perfect Xen 3.0 Setup For Debian - virtual network problem

    I followed the tutorial step by step on a box I just rented at an ISP. Everything went fine (including network connecticity) until I reached the last part with the virtual local network.

    The VMs can reach each others and reach the Internet form their 10.0.0.x network, But after putting in the NAT rules I still can't aceess any running service such as SSH from the Internet. Is there any step misssing in the tutorial or am I doing something wrong ? And there is a difference when I add the NAT rules. Without them I get immediately a connection refused error, with the NAT rules it just keeps hanging.

    For now, I went back to the bridged connection, but I relly hope to get the private local network running.

    thanks in advance for any advice

    Can you post the NAT rules you're using?

    These were my NAT settings:


    more /etc/network/if-up.d/iptables:

    #!/bin/sh

    ### Port Forwarding ###
    iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 10.0.0.2:80
    iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 6678 -j DNAT --to 10.0.0.1:22
    iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 6679 -j DNAT --to 10.0.0.2:22

    Did you
    Code:
    chmod 755 /etc/network/if-up.d/iptables
    (so that the file is executed at system startup)? Is eth0 your network device on dom0?

    yes to both of your questions, see below. I still couldn't figure out why it doesen't work. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this problem ?

    What happens if you execute /etc/network/if-up.d/iptables? Run
    Code:
    /etc/network/if-up.d/iptables
    on the shell as root.

    Please make sure that file has Unix linebreaks, not Windows linebreaks.

    unfortunately nothing happens. And if I list all rules with iptables -L, I can't see them anywhere there.

    need to correct myself, didn't specify NAT table, with "iptables -L -t nat" I see:

    Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
    target prot opt source destination
    DNAT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:www to:10.0.0.2:80
    DNAT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:9641 to:10.0.0.1:22
    DNAT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:9642 to:10.0.0.2:22


    Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
    target prot opt source destination
    MASQUERADE all -- anywhere anywhere

    Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
    target prot opt source destination





    Filter tables looks like:
    ---------------------

    Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
    target prot opt source destination

    Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
    target prot opt source destination
    ACCEPT all -- 10.0.0.1 anywhere PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vif5.0
    ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vif5.0 udp spt:bootpc dpt:bootps
    ACCEPT all -- 10.0.0.1 anywhere PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vif6.0
    ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vif6.0 udp spt:bootpc dpt:bootps
    ACCEPT all -- 10.0.0.1 anywhere PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vif7.0
    ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vif7.0 udp spt:bootpc dpt:bootps
    ACCEPT all -- 10.0.0.1 anywhere PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vif8.0
    ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vif8.0 udp spt:bootpc dpt:bootps

    Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
    target prot opt source destination



    If I try to login in via ssh and sniff at the interface I get the following tcpdump:

    Can you ping 10.0.0.2 from 10.0.0.1 and vice versa? Can you ping dom0 from a domU and vice versa?

    yes, I can ping from one vm to the other and form the vm to the public IP on dom0 and from dom0 to the vm.

    It's really strange.

    Did you reboot the server?

    yes, I did several reboots and checked whether anything changed in regard to NAT, unfortunatley nothing changed.
