Dick What you have working is only half of the product. Outbound works for me also but I have ports 6346, 6347, 6348 and 6349. What about the part of other internet users accessing your files. Watch the log and you will see limewire remote server trying to start session to your public ip address when you start limewire. Limewire software may not issue error message about remote users not being able to access your shared files but its is a problem that only happens when PC is nated on LAN. Here do this test, use lan PC to share files with another PC on your lan. I bet that will not work. Or have friend using limewire try to access your shared files on one of your lan pc's.

No funny things. Just installed limewire on all machines using the defaults. My ipnat.rules is also quit simple: # ### ipnat.rules # # FTP traffic for the internal LAN map rl0 192.168.11.0/24 -> 0/32 proxy port 21 ftp/tcp # FTP traffic from the gateway map rl0 0.0.0.0/0 -> 0/32 proxy port 21 ftp/tcp # non-FTP traffic for the internal LAN map rl0 192.168.11.0/24 -> 0/32 portmap tcp/udp auto map rl0 192.168.11.0/24 -> 0/32 That's all. And as said: limewire works like a charm. -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11 ++ FreeBSD 5.3 + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
