If your network is NAT'd (i.e. you don't have public IPs internally), then you can only forward a port to one computer. Sucks, but that's the way it is. That's why people like to run services on weird ports - you can run ssh to different servers depending on a port, for instance, by forwarding port 1022 -> 10.0.0.4:22, 2022 -> 10.0.0.5:22, etc. So, then if i want to ssh to 10.0.0.4 i ssh to my public IP port 1022. dan _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
