Hi everybody,

I have the following setup:

FreeBSD Server (4.9-R)
 2 NIC's
 [xl0,Public Range IP, 196.xx.xx.xx]
 [xl1,Private Range IP, 192.168.0.1]

Windows 2k server
 [Private IP, 192.168.0.2]

The Windows 2000 server is running VNC and is serving as
an application server for windows software that is not-so-stable on
FreeBSD. :P (The windows machine is not connected directly to the
Internet for obvious reasons ;) )

What I want: I want to be able to connect to the VNC service
running on the Windows machine, via the Internet.

Is it possible to set up port forwarding so that if I connect
to the FreeBSD machine on port 5800, the request be forwarded
to the Windows machine on port 5800? Do I need to set up the
FreeBSD machine in any specific way to accomplish this setup?

Thank you in advance.

Please copy me in any replies, as I am only subscribed to the digest.

Thank you.
Regards
Jaco van Tonder
