You can do it easily by using xinetd or some other software to listen on the required ports on your linux machine and redirect them to the windows machine. while its possible to do this in the firewall (iptables/ipchains) I wouldn't recommend it as its a pain to manage. Another options is to use SOCKS - NEC has a free socks server you can install on your linux gateway (if you don't have one already, your distro might have one). from NEC's site you can also download a windows software that will "socksify" existing application so that while it thinks its opening listening ports it will actually as the SOCKS proxy to open listening ports for it. this is actually the "Right Thing(tm)". http://www.socks.permeo.com/Download/SocksCapDownload/index.asp the rest is handled with NAT as usual (you really need to setup NAT if you haven't already). -- Oded ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
