Is there any way to forward broadcast packets between interfaces?? I would like to be able to browse the windows machines on the other side of the gateway with a windows machine behind the gateway. The problem is the windows machine doesn't get the broadcasts so it doesn't know they are there. Otherwise, it can connect to them fine. It is using Netbios over TCPIP (NetBT). Also, it would be nice if I could echo the rwho packets to the local subnet as well. I would like to do this on a per-service basis though. ie I don't want to forward ALL of the broadcast messages just ones on certain ports. Is this possible?? Thanks.
