You didn't mention that earlier.. In that case, then you will have to manage your ADSL router instead. (that is, if your ADSL router is doing the packet filtering, which I think it is.) your Linux box will _never_, repeat _never_ see any packets not already allowed by the router. (presuming it's doing it's job) What you need to do is to do port-forwarding on your router to permit packets or rather to route packets to the p2p software. That's what that call Destination NAT (DNAT) What's your router box? I don't have much experience with a hardware router. All I use are Linux IPTables/Shorewall boxes. -- Ow Mun Heng Fedora GNU/Linux Core 2 on D600 1.4Ghz CPU kernel 2.6.7-2.jul1-interactive Neuromancer 16:11:18 up 7:00, 7 users, load average: 0.60, 0.65, 0.70
