Forwarding means that an incoming call is forwarded by the forwarding server to another server. eg when I log into an FTP server having IP 1.2.3.4 but that IP is actually nothing more than a forwarding firewall, MY IP is forwarded to the FTP-server that is actually behind the firewall. This FTP server could have an private IP like 192.168.55.12 or so. The connection is established transparently through the forwarding server which is masqerading the FTP server.
Hope this makes forwarding a bit clear to you? :) Mythiq. ----- Original Message ----- From: Abu H R <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]>; Michael Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2001 7:28 AM Subject: Re: access to icq > how can i disable ip forwading and what's the benefit if i enable or disable > ip forwarding > OR how can i change the forward chain > now my network have an abuser accessing to something like > [xxxxxxxxxxx.rr.com with port 1214 in outer side and one of the port from > 1024-65535 in intra side].
