Only data that is requested will be forwarded to your computer. NAT isn't going to forward anything you don't request unless it is setup in such a way to do so. > The InternetSharing "is" working correctly, because it's normal that > no traffic is forwarded to the internal network.

I correct myself... *should* be standard behaviour of all proxy servers. Proxy servers shouldn't forward data they are not requested to, but some come setup to allow all data to be forwarded. > Now I'm 99% sure that the BAT had problems because of the ports > which wasn't accessable directly from internet. My Bat is now > working about 17 hours (non-stop) without any Freezing, thats Great! I'm slightly confused at your setup. Is the computer running TheBat behind a proxy server, or is the POP3/SMTP server behind a proxy server? If TheBat is behind a proxy server, then the proxy server cannot be working correctly if you explicitly had to forward data on the POP3 connections onto that computer. If it is the other way around, then that is expected I guess. Just as a note, top posting (which you did to my reply) results in a lot of over quoting, and is often difficult to follow threads in emails. Just as a silly example: A: Because it wanted to get to the other side Q: Why did the chicken cross the road? Not only does it make it difficult to follow threads effectively in a conversational type manor, but it results in a lot of over quoting. In this case, you included all the list footers, plus my PGP signature, and probably a lot of context that wasn't needed. - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQA/AwUBPgslXiuD6BT4/R9zEQKWLQCg0eamRp2Ti9+STxMrI98lB5IqDdEAoLLq sxSi4U+RXn6eY8w2aDYDBM2w =ZqJq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
