I was thinking something similar like forwarding incomming connections to the firewall on a certain port to an internal IP. I just wanted to make sure that this was possible as I do not have access to the firewall to test it on right now. thx -----Original Message----- From: Albert D.

I dunno maybe I am on glue :) There are several options, depending on exactly what you want to do. Let me see if I got this right: You sit at a machine with a normal IP address, on the net. There is a NAT box on the net too. Behind the NAT box are NT servers you want to reach. These NT servers could reach you via the NAT box. You want to initiate a connection to the NT servers. Of course, from your viewpoint, the NT servers share one IP. Correct? Hopefully you can set VNC port numbers on the client. If not, the problem gets harder but can still be solved. Now, since you might not love my solution, I'll wait for you to say you really need it. :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
