I have the NAT being done in the router, by forwarding this range of ports directly to this machines address. Its all setup in the router for that.
But I also have to open up iptables a wee bit on my firewall box, with this rule: ----------- #!/bin/bash BTFORWARDADDR=192.168.xx.3 PORTSTART=6881 PORTEND=6999 /sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -s $BTFORWARDADDR -p tcp --dport $PORTSTART: $PORTEND -j ACCEPT ----------- Where the "xx" is a real number of course. >Regards > >Marcelo > >-- >Marcelo Chiapparini >[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
