ok, let's try in this way.

the code is this:

[CODE]
if (hooknumber == NF_INET_LOCAL_IN) fl.nl_u.ip4_u.saddr = niph->saddr;
  //niph is the pointer to ip header of the packet to send
if (hooknumber == NF_INET_FORWARD) fl.nl_u.ip4_u.saddr = 0;
[/CODE]

so, i don't understand why saddr = 0 when the hooknumber is NF_INET_FORWARD....

this is the real problem.
