In addition to what Andreas said: The problem is not the "router/gateway" in front of the ftp. The problem is the internal address the ftp server has and the nat that the router has to do. FreeBSD knows nothing about the external address... I think you'll have better results getting a second IP address for your ftp server and just route packets. Or you could search for an ftp server with this feature and/or a router with a big bag of tricks(similar to ftp-proxy FreeBSD has) I would go for a second IP address if that was a choice Nikos _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
