Anyone know the best way to do this (technical question)
 

i want to allow a remote windows pc to connect to a windows server on a private network (192.xxx.xxx.xxx) by going through a public ip's linux server that is also connected to the private network via local lan switch..

whats the best way to do this?

squid proxy?

Uh.. Port forward with ipchains.

That sounds too nerdy for me. I have no idea, but good luck!

Fixed. ipchains doesn't support port forwarding. You'd need to use ipmasqadm w/ portfw if you were still using ipchains. You likely have iptables, not ipchains.

Oops. Yeah. iptables. Gotta love Linux for changing IP tools like underwear.. I still remember IPF/PF; it's not changed a hell of a lot. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

iptables -t nat -A prerouting -p tcp -i eth0 -d External.IP.Goes.Here --dport 80 -j DNAT --to Internal.Other.Host.IP.Goes.Here:80

thanks.... :thumbsup

He knows half the deal, and he screams it really loud. That must be passing grade, no ?
