Hi, I am sure there must be something similar to what I am asking, but after a good search and reading many posts I have'nt come to any understanding. Firsty I have some knowledge of NAT and I have an environment where clients are sitting behind NAT's configured with iptables. And I read this excellent article on p2p communication over NATs called "Peer-to-Peer Communication Across Network Address Translators" (http://www.brynosaurus.com/pub/net/p2pnat/). After several tries, I havent even progressed an inch in communicating from peer to peer. since my NAT s/w is IPTABLES, does it support such a feature of NAT traversal ? And is there any way of using TCP to do the NAT traversal ?
I have studied Skype for this effect, and I have seen that it isnt working with UDP (in my NAT environment atleast), all TCP communications, on port 80 and 443. I am new and bewildered. I need some direction, as how to progress, in writing a simple p2p communication over NAT. sorry for the dumb post, if it sounds like one, I am absolutely a newbie in this field. regards -- Sanjay Upadhyay _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list p2p-hackers@lists.zooko.com http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
