What version of FreeBSD are you running? Maybe it's the ppp that's causing the problem. I'm not quite sure. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Sarton O'Brien [mailto:roguetr@patho.gen.nz] Sent: Friday, March 31, 2000 2:02 AM To: C J Michaels Subject: Re: ppp -nat port redirection > Hey no problem.

Icq is setup correctly and I have nailed the problem back to nat. I tested by specifying one port: nat port udp 192.168.0.2:30000 30000 and it redirected as required. I then tried specifying the range: nat port udp 192.168.0.2:30000-30500 30000-30500 and port 30000 would still redirect but nothing else within the range. When specifying a range, no redirction, sigular port, redirection. I'm stumped. I seem to be specifying everything correctly. Once again, thanks for your help. Sarton O'Brien PS.
