Yeah. The issue here is that the machine is picking the IP address as the "closest" IP to the internet -- the RFC1918 address over the WAN link. My mind is also mud at the moment, but this much I can thing of: By forcing ssh, et al. to bind to a specific IP, you can avoid the non-traceable issue. And a tidbit just surfaced from the mud! Use ipfw + natd to nat anything that would directly come from / to the private address and use "natd -u -a 1.2.3.1" (assumes .1 is the gateway). Careful that you don't wind up looking at every single packet though. The other solution would be to accuse your ISP of being incompentent / cheap, etc. and complain until you get a public /30 for the WAN link. I'm a fascist; I wouldn't have taken a link without a public WAN ip. ----- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR | TGIFreeBSD...
