Windows can do it..
I had a broadband failure a while back.. and the only spare modem I had was on a windows laptop.
I setup the backup dialup connection on the laptop, and set it to port forward the required ports to the internal machines and connected.
It worked fine. so I know that windows 2000/XP can do it.
(I'm actually not sure that XP SP2 can do it though, most of the details screens seem to have disappeared.)

I'm not absolutely shure about windows doing port forwarding, because i did investigated for another application and didn't found a native solution. But i had success with Cygwin and the ssh.
Basicly wath i did was to use ssh over the windows box with the Cygwin version, then ssh has the ability to do port forward and also encrypt the comunication betwen boxes.

Okie day, seems simple enough. I found some basic how-to's via google,
and supposedly got port 80 forwarded to my Linux box's IP. Problem is
it seems to make no difference. supposedly I should just be able to go
to http://[my.internet.ip]:80/index.shtml or whatever and get apache... right? I know apache is working okay because I can go to
http://[my.local.ip]/index.shtml and it pops up with it's placeholder.
what am I not doing?
Thanx,
