I know this isn't much to add, but it is an idea to look at if other users might want pcanywhere access. (Mind you, I'm not very experienced with advanced routing configurations, but I'm fairly certain this is possible.) Find out the IP address of the user with DSL who wants in to his system. Then write a rule specifying that a request for the pcanywhere port on the firewall from this (and only this) IP should go to _his_ internal machine. Add more rules like this for other users. I would say that is more secure than having multiple ports open for pcanywhere, and much easier for your clients, as they wouldn't have to reconfigure. (Mind you, each person would require another line in your firewall script, and no dynamic IP's) <snip> - -- vmann reduce(lambda x,y:x+y,map(lambda x:chr(ord(x)^42),tuple('zS^BED\nX_FOY\x0b'))) GnuPG/PGP Fingerprint CE80 018B D825 6DF1 4990 C15F E11A B17E 4A0C D133 Sair Linux and GNU Certified Administrator #563619 Whidbey Linux Users Group - http://www.wlug.net http://vmann.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8NNEf4RqxfkoM0TMRAmcMAJ9aMJ8lMf4zq1sn8NoScsX0EG/m6gCggSiH cpdAjKQ2/I0HVvWib1JG5xE= =JGWK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
