I have a Windows 2000 Advanced server, running DHCP with about 5 clients. One of those clients is a UNIX machine. I was wondering how I would have Windows 2000 forward port 23 (Telnet port) and 21 (FTP Port) over to my Unix server? In other words, I want all FTP connections that come in from the internet to my server, to be forwarded to my Unix machine on my network (who has a internal network IP also) Thanks in advance!

Salvete, AFAIK w2k does not support port forwarding. (Althouhg I might be wrong) So here's the standard way to do it: Enable port forwarding on your firewall, brick or router. Reroute an outside-port greater than 1023 to 21 or 22(SSH), install secure shell (port 22) rather than telnet. Telnet is not secured in any way, also be sure to allow only anonymous logins on your ftp to avoid probing, or disable all but your LAN's adress range in a second firewall. Hope this helped, Jochen Kaiser, Germany p.s. no I won't tell you which commands you have to enter, to configure the firewall, there is a gigantic howto under www.linuxdoc.org to read first. p.p.s If you need a win32 ssh-client search for "putty.exe".

You can work with NAT of Win2k or Apachi server, that can do this process
