Hi Bill,

| Do you have _real_ IPs?
I have one IP only...

|Most people only get one real IP from their ISP, and
|then use "private" IPs (such as 192.168.0.x or 10.0.0.x) for the rest
|of their machines.

Yes, I have a similar setup for my private network...

|If you're doing such, you'll either need exciting nat rules on
| the gateway, or some other workaround.

Yes this is where I need assistance, I have read quite a bit on NAT
however it seems that I am missing something???

With that said, I'll get back to business. I was thinking that NAT would
resolve my issue, however only one way. What if I am outside my
home-network and I want to SSH one of the machines behind the default
gateway. At present it is not possible and I don't know how to make this
possible.

This is a rough diagram of the network... I would like to ssh, ping,
etc. the machines behind the default gateway directly (without
tunneling) from the outside the network (at work for example). Is this
possible and if so how do I config.  Keep in mind that my default
gateway is FreeBSD.  I know this may be a complicated project but if you
could help that would help me greatly.  Many thanks to everyone in advance.
