Most of these el-cheapo routers will quite happily forward UDP and TCP
but don't have any rules to forward a protocol. Sometimes the DMZ works,
other times it doesn't. I've seen many people report this on the IPv6
tunnel broker forums where they are trying to forward Protocol 41 and
the host is behind a NAT.
I'd suggest he gets something that supports DD-WRT. I've just seen John
Wiseman's post from earlier today that he has this working on VM - it
just needs a couple of firewall rules adding to DD-WRT which has to be
done over a telnet connection. Unfortunately they won't persist between
reboots so it may need a script to automate it.
Something like:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p 4 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.2
iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -i eth1 -p 4 -d 10.0.1.2 -j ACCEPT
the check your firewall rules with iptables -t nat -L; iptables -t
filter -L
Assuming eth1 is your public ip interface and 192.168.1.2 is the ip
address of your host running rip44d, this would forward any incoming
protocol 4 packets to 10.0.1.2.
HTH,
