Listmates: I guess this situation is a port forwarding situation, but I'm not sure how to attack the problem. I have a limited number of IP entries in my router that I can use to forward traffic through to other machines on my office LAN from the outside. I need to learn how to setup ports on my primary server that will send/receive information to and from other computers on the lan. What is the best way to do this? In the past the only experience I have had with this is ssh port forwarding to forward X or reach other machines behind the router. Is that what I need to do even though the traffic isn't ssh? Do I need to set up IP tables? Can I do that with SuSEfirewall? The layout I need is like this: internet server port:12344 <==============>[ ]<----------------->[ ] client1 port:12345 |\ | \<---------------->[ ] client2 port:12346 |\ | \<---------------->[ ] client3 port:12347 [ ] client4 port:12348 What mechanism do I need to go learn so that I can set up something like this generically without relying on ssh only?
