Hi,
I know the NAT thing - the remote boxes all have the appropriate
ports forwarded with NAT - but the problem is the remote firewall's only
allow connections from our office IP address, so I need to be able to
somehow appear to be connecting from behind our office firewall when I
am out of the office?

The usual way to solve this is to set the firewall to NAT the port to
the server behind the firewall and have flash connect to the firewall
on the NATed port. In a made up case, NATing port 2980 on the
firewall's ethernet 0 at 200.200.200.1 to port 2980 on the server
192.168.1.7 on the firewall's ethernet 1 interface, causes access to
public address 200.200.200.1 port 2980 to be transparently remapped to
192.168.1.7:2980 on the private net attached to the firewall.
If you have public addresses behind the firewall, you could do the NAT
on one of these servers.
This is common. I use it to access administrative ports(eg SSH) on
servers that are on private 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x subnets that can
not be used on the Internet.

Hi,
We have a system of distributed systems that use Flash to control
various parts by sending commands over a socket.
The problem is that these systems sit behind a firewall that only
allows access from a specific IP address - our work offices...
We want to be able to connect to these systems from the
outside world - they also serve their Flash via a webserver so I set
up a proxy on our office to allow us to connect to the webservers.
The problem is that Flash Player does not use the proxy server for
socket connections - it connects directly to the IP address derived
from the URL of the SWF. Is there any way I can make Flash use a
proxy server for this???
