When I did have it running, I had a dual-homed machine which had an outside (static valid internet IP) and an inside interface to the LAN. The building at the time actually had 5 different networks, so routing and firewalling were a little more complex than most - but if I recall, each login via mpd get's it's own aliased interface on the FreeBSD machine, so just create your firewall rules appropriately. - Not sure how/if you can run mpd through NAT if that's what you were asking. -- Nathan Vidican nvidican@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/
