Dear subscribers. I'm trying to set up a home network and I have a problem that I hope I can get some help with by all you competent subscribers. My network will have one computer as a combined router/firewall running SuSE Linux 8.0 (Kernel 2.4.18). The internal network will be a mix of Windows and Linux computers. One of the computers has a webbcam connected to it, which is used for video conferences with my friends. The conference software is MSN Messenger, which have a pretty peculiar network protocol since it opens dynamically allocated ports, above port 1000, in both directions. My idea is to solve this by routing all incoming requests on ports above port 1000 to the fixed internal address of the webcam computer. The setup is complicated by the fact that I would like to have a web server etc. installed on the route/firewall server where I can publish my own pages, i.e. it will service some of the ports below port 1000. If it's at all possible I would also like to be able to connect additional computers to the internal network which have Internet access using NAT rules set up in the firewall and have their internal IP addresses assigned via DHCP. The setup would have been rather simple if it wasn't for the fact that I have only one public IP address at my disposal. Kind regards, Ola Theander - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
