Your masq box is a firewall. It will innately prevent anyone on the public internet from reaching your private LAN. In fact, that's the main reason that you must use IP Masq in the first place; your private LAN IP addresses are unknown to the global Internet, and the Internet has no idea how to send you packets to reach your private LAN. That is why you must be masquerade as your public interface IP address in order to reach the Internet at all. > Lets say I have my linux box connected to the net with a dynamic IP > address and someone wants to telnet to my other computer that uses > 192.168.1.2 on a SLIP link to the linux box using 192.168.1.1 on the > linux end.

The exact nature of your question is not clear to me, since you have mentioned so many different connection points that I don't understand. However, if you mean "Can a person on the global Internet telnet directly to one of my boxes on my private LAN?" the answer is NO. The only way you can allow that to happen is by setting up port forwarding. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Fuzzy Fox) || "Nothing takes the taste out of peanut sometimes known as David DeSimone || butter quite like unrequited love." http://www.dallas.net/~fox/ || -- Charlie Brown --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For daily digest info, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
