I simply want 4662 open both ways. # netstat -an|grep 4662 should tell you if your box is listening at all on port 4662. If you run eDonkey server on the firewall box, open port in the INPUT chain. If your eDonkey server is *behind* the firewall, open the port in the FORWARD chain, and add a DNAT rule in the nat table -> PREROUTING chain. Rob
