HOWTO: Simple port forwarding for Web / lighttpd

Im running lighttpd at a custom port and i want to forward port 80 to that port so my custom webserver handles all http requests

Code:

---

# iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to [ROUTER LOCAL IP]:[CUSTOM PORT]

Hi Clausbruun,

Your command looks right, for the NAT table but did you also need to include a reverse of these on you INPUT table?
Second did you delete the NAT and INPUT settings for ASUS photo share? these will clash with you getting port 80 forwarded
