I think this info must be out of date, and that ipnat really does do "UDP consistent translation". This is a bit of output from ipnat -l: >MAP 172.16.64.16 13432 <- -> 195.74.141.61 5132 [159.148.187.95 27452] >MAP 172.16.64.16 13432 <- -> 195.74.141.61 5132 [70.48.222.77 51689] >MAP 172.16.64.16 13432 <- -> 195.74.141.61 5132 [80.131.15.67 24122] >MAP 172.16.64.16 13432 <- -> 195.74.141.61 5132 [67.8.167.204 52284] >MAP 172.16.64.16 13432 <- -> 195.74.141.61 5132 [24.201.154.49 57657] >MAP 172.16.64.16 13432 <- -> 195.74.141.61 5132 [82.36.75.76 41765] >MAP 172.16.64.16 13432 <- -> 195.74.141.61 5132 [139.91.190.109 4709] >MAP 172.16.64.16 13432 <- -> 195.74.141.61 5132 [65.93.139.84 56670] >MAP 172.16.64.16 13432 <- -> 195.74.141.61 5132 [210.221.94.233 5387] The machine running Skype is 172.16.64.16 and Skype's Options->Connections property page shows 13432 as the port number. I presume 5132 is the translated port number. Looks pretty consistent to me. So it was a red herring and I'll have to look elsewhere. jim _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
