Hello,

I have my Redhat 7.1  and Win98/Win2k boxes set up nicely and just got a 
broadband (cable) connection.  

I have my Win machine behind my Redhat machine in an IPChains setup where my 
Redhat machine has a route to my ISP, functions as a DHCP server, and runs 
IPChains nicely - which forwards packets from win98/Win2k to the internet (IP 
Masq) and serves as a firewall. 

I do, however, have a few requirements that I'd like for see if I can get: 
set up to make my life a little easier:

1. I need to be able to use protocols such as CUSeeMe, IRC, FTP, etc... From 
my Win2K and Win98 machines to the outside world.  Under IPChains (even with 
the 2.4 kernel) I can not use such protocols since the modules for such are 
not available (although they seem to be available for older kernels!)  
IPTables does not even make this available to me.

2. I need to have my Win2k machine to access machines behind another firewall 
using SecuRemote to/thu a CheckPoint FW1.  Unfortunately, this dosnt seem to 
work (I am guessing it is due to the NATing that happens).  I understand that 
FW1 has a few encryption schemes - FWZ and IKE.  There is documentation out 
there for using it with IKE (which I have available to me), but I still have 
no success in getting this up and running...

I've considered on buying a router.  Although not 100% sure, I do not think 
that this will solve my problem as routers do some form of NATing (which is 
what I am attributing my problems to in the first place).

I've considered being a cheap ass and building a linux router from a paper 
weight desktop that I have, but I am not sure that this will help (although 
it would be pretty fun...) since all they do is some form of NATing (Freesco, 
Cyote Linux).

I've considered purchasing another IP, but again.. I'm a cheap ass...

Can someone offer a little direction on this?  Unplugging my patch cable and 
swapping it out from Redhat to Win2k just to use SecuRemote is getting old, 
fast!    


Thanks In Advance,

Alejandro
