The IP number above should be the number of the host on the *inside* that you want to pass data through to. The idea is that data will already pass through on its way out with the source IP of your gateway. You want data coming back with a destination IP of your gateway to be tweaked to the given (internal) IP. > thanks > steve > > [.....] -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
