Howdie, fellow Debianites! Now, this may be a silly question to ask, but anyway... My home router is running out of redirectable ports, so I was wondering: what would happen if I just configured the default Transmission ports in the router and then let several users run Transmission concurrently? I mean, without changing anybody's settings from the defaults, so that all instances of Transmission used the same ports? Would the packets somehow "know" which instance of Transmission to reach, or would I just make a horrible mess? More generally: can the *same* ports be "shared" among simultaneously running applications or not?
P.S. I'm talking of users which are set up on the *same* physical box, of course (a Debian Lenny w/ Gnome desktop, on a 192.168.*.* home network) and can actually all be logged in at the same time using Gnome's "switch-user-without-logging-out" feature. -- Regards, Klistvud Certifiable Loonix User #481801 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
