Er, no thanks. I am not doing a masqerade + firewall. I am doing a dial-in server - need to control a box that's not on the net. All the manuals/howtos are quite old (found a 2003 article that still refer to old ppp, modem, dialin howtos. They refer to configuring the kernel for ip forwarding. This has changed and I was wondering about the why and how at the kernel level. I don't really need port forwarding turned on - I will be talking to the server - no tthrough the server. I just found the difference at the kernel level and am chasing down the reasons out of curiosity. -- Mike Mueller 324881 (08/20/2003) Make clockwise circles with your right foot.
