Books, examples, configuration files? It really is as simple as the natd/sample/natd.test script. All natd is doing is looking at the interfaces IP number, and changing all outgoing stuff so that the source IP is its own. The `changing' involves remembering the change so that packets coming back can be un-NAT'd. You don't have to tell it what you want to translate as it's figured out based on the direction of the packet. > Thanks. > -ecsd@transbay.net -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
