It seems to be going, the main problem was that I was within the network when testing... ie it wasn't getting to smoothwall for it to be able to do the redirection. Testing from outside of the network (through the use of an anonymiser service) does indeed allow me to see both machines fine. However, the actual page I want to open by default is in a sub-directory of www, I am guessing the easiest way to rectify that is a quick edit of httpd.conf.

What happens if you run the server on the 192.168.0.25 machine to accept connections on port 88. i.e. no port number translation? I'd be interested to know if IPCop will do the port number translation where Smoothwall seems to fail. I'll do some experiments. -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell
