No suggestions. Go for the WinXP solution if you feel more comfortable with that. <sarcasm> Just make sure you don't come running back when it is haxored into oblivion by a script-kiddy with too much time on his hands and a MS 30-day exploit in his hands will you? </sarcasm> If you think this to be a harsh reply, then maybe you can try to include a little bit more about your situation the next time you ask for help? Like what your setup is, what you've tried already, what part of the fine manuals you didn't understand... That sort of thing. If you still want to put some effort into the Linux/netfilter solution I suggest you do those things and put your problem on the list again. (If you want to know where to look things up, by all means ask). Good luck!

This has proven IMPOSSIBE! No matter how I try to forward ports, its not working. I am thinking about just setting up a simple Windows XP box and doing it that way after trying for 12 hours and 5 different configuration methods. Any last suggestions before I switch?
