Right-o. They can't connect to you because there is no way initiate a connection directly to you machine. If you initiate the connection the bsd machine knows what to do with the packets at that point. You have a couple potential choices (I don't know freetel that well). If freetel uses static port numbers, and doesn't just randomly assign them. You can have ppp re-route all packets on that port to your machine inside the network... Or, if freetel supports socks, you can setup a socks 5 server (in the ports) and have that handle all requests. (This is a good idea if you run icq also). -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: root@vetex.dhis.org [SMTP:root@vetex.dhis.org] > Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 1999 3:05 PM > To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: aliasing and freetel > > I have system conected via ppp -alias and it works > good for the most part but i have another > machine running "freetel" on win 95 > and people on the net cannot connect to me > but if i initiate the connection they can > talk to me. > > i was wondering if it might be due to > the ip addresses used on the internal net.? > > i believe freetel uses some real high ports like 30000 > or so. > > > ---------------------------------- > E-Mail: root@vetex.dhis.org or kf7nn@kf7nn.com > Date: 18-Aug-99 > Time: 11:55:20 > > She is not refined.
