Hello -questions: I would like to make bittorrent work in following scenario: - machine running py-bittorrent has private ip-address 192.168.x.y and currently runs FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE - firewall/NAT machine is FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE, last updated by source in November 2004. - firewall/NAT is ipfw2, has run just fine for months How do I configure ipfw2 for properly forwarding the bittorrent ports (6881-6889) to the destination machine? Log_in_vain is active on the firewall machine & when bittorrent is active on the private-ip machine, the firewall's syslog is being cluttered with attempts on port 6881. Where in the firewall config would such rule(s) go in relation to the divert rule? Would that silence the port 6881 messages & properly pass that traffic to the internal machine? So far I'm not understanding the ipfw manpage for port forwarding. FAQ/documentation/RTFM pointers/examples are quite welcome. :) Please CC me any replies. Thanks, -kc
