It only needs special knowledge of the few programs that embed IP numbers in the data stream (ftp being the most common one). Win98's PPTP tunnel doesn't use TCP or UDP, so it's a bit harder for natd. You can try the "-pptpalias localIP" option, to let a single internal machine use PPTP. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
