Sincerely The only way I know of how to do this is using redirect_port with natd. I have searched myself for something like this myself, but most programs that I have run into were fixed with redirect_port. What you do is make a conifg file in /etc for natd (ie: /etc/natd.conf) and have the ports you need to redirect in there. This is one I have for IRC: redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.11:1024 1024 (note: you need to have more of those for more transfers, each port higher than the other) And you can configure mirc for windows to use certain ports so that it doesn't conflict with the ports of the other computers you have on your lan. Hope this helps. --bhishan > > Dear Sir or Madam, > > I am currently running a NATD internet gateway which provides my LAN > > (consisting of win98SE machines) access to my Satelite internet uplink. > > The gateway is running FreeBSD3.2 Stable. > > > > I am looking for a way to have FreeBSD forward packets throughout my LAN in > > the same way that the Sygate program for Windows 9x/NT does.
