The key in getting it to work is "UPNP", thus something like: http://upnp.sourceforge.net/ http://linux-igd.sourceforge.net/ Most 'normal' NAT's nowadays support it, most Windows boxes use it etc, thus most homes have it and it enables the opening of ports on the NAT box so that they get forwarded to the internal box that requests it See amongst others: http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&mes sage.id=18300 As most parts of the world can't even get PS3's: enjoy it ;) Greets, Jeroen [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]
