I would expect it to not work, for the same reasons as above. 1) ircii running on 10.0.0.2 sends a CTCP message with my IP and listening port (It does correctly send my real IP [ie 209.100.92.54], and not 10.0.0.2) 2) client on the other end recieves the message and attempts to open a TCP conection to 209.100.92.54:PORT 3) My gateway machine running ppp -alias recieves the packet, (and here is where I don't get it) correctly forwards it to 10.0.0.2 I would expect it to fail at #3. It worked just fine to my surprise. I only have just the two computers, fork (10.0.0.1) and spoon (10.0.0.2). Does the alias engine assume that the packet was intended for spoon? I also tried this in Win95 with mIRC, and it did fail as I expected it to (mIRC was also using the real IP address, and not 0.2). -===================================================================- Jeremy Shaffner JORSM Internet Senior Technical Support Northwest Indiana's Premium jer@jorsm.com Internet Service Provider support@jorsm.com http://www.jorsm.com -===================================================================- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
