Hi,

I solved most of my problem, but thank you for asking. I have it running on=
=20
the internal network simply by enabling (and configuring a little bit) natd=
=20
on the university network.

Now the only problem left:
I am running a server on both machines, but on my windows box it is port 82=
.=20
I have it configured so that the freebsd box will forward port 82 to the=20
windows machine, and the router will forward port 82 to the windows machine=
.=20
It works fine, provided a person on the internal network uses the internal=
=20
IP, and a person on the external network uses the external IP. The problem=
=20
arrises when a person on the internal network decides to use the external I=
P=20
(of my cable modem). I ran a tracert from a person's machine, and although=
=20
the request travels through the internal network, it dies on the last hop.=
=20
Is there someway I can wrap it around so that my Freebsd box will be able t=
o=20
server the internal network quickly even though a person may connect to an=
=20
external IP? I suppose an easy solution would be just to put a PHP script=
=20
that directs a person to the right IP depending on their config, but I am=
=20
looking for a more transparent solution.

Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate it,
