Gerry (and all the other respondents too) Thanks! You all are saying pretty much the same thing and it sounds like I was really looking at or misinterpreting what I was seeing from tcpdump. I think the idea that I should have been using a 3rd machine to do that may be key here. And Gerry, the command line above is one I had seen in a previous post either here (maybe it was you then too) or some other Linux list and that is what I tried originally, in fact. However, as your line is constructed its saying that masquerade is a "policy" and the man page for ipfwadm (on Debian 1.1) doesn't mention that being a valid policy (is the page not current perhaps)? Anyway, I think, with the help of the Debian list, that if I don't have it right now, the info you've provided will help me get it right. Thanks all! Paul
