ideally, you could put together a vpn -- but if company firewall policy prohibits that, maybe yuo could do port forwarding to achieve the effect you're after? just guessing... with a vpn, you'd have your 192.168.*.* subnet appear to be locally connected to your 10.*.*.* net. it's tres kewl. with port forwarding, you can have hits incoming on ipmasq_machine public interface (1.2.3.4) port 7531 forwarded transparently to xserver_machine (192.168.1.3) port 24680 if you want. -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #42 from Pietro Cagnoni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Would you like to DISABLE CONTROL-ALT-DEL?
