Linux Port forwarding

[Dst_lu]

I have set up a Linux DST dedicated server recently and it works. There is one problem: the ping is not showing any number except ???. I know this has been asked a lot in the past but I have not found much info about the port forwarding on Linux servers. I am not an expert with Linux system but this is what I managed to come up so far:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination
  224 19163 ACCEPT     all  --  lo     any     anywhere             anywhere

    2    80 ACCEPT     tcp  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere             tcp dpt:https state NEW
    0     0 ACCEPT     udp  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere             udp spt:10999 dpts:1025:65355

 2246  138K REJECT     all  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere             reject-with icmp-port-unreachable

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)

    0     0 ACCEPT     udp  --  any    any     anywhere             **********************.linode.com  udp dpts:1025:65355

 

The command I used was:

sudo iptables -D INPUT 7 -p udp --sport 10999 --dport 1025:65355 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p udp --sport 10999 -j DNAT --to*.**.***.*:1025:65355
iptables -A FORWARD -p udp -d 45.79.76.114 --dport 1025:65355 -j ACCEPT

Any comments on how I could make the Ping to show up as a real number?

Thanks.
