My router, which is not a computer, but rather an unbranded little
plastic box, will only allow ports to be "forwarded" to one IP on the
LAN's Class C subnet. This causes a problem when trying to use ident,
which uses port 113, as it means that only one computer in the house may
use ident without resetting the router.
Would it be possible to setup, say, my desktop machine, or any other
Debian machine, to be a router for *just* port 113? So I could forward
port 113 on the WAN to that machine, and then that machine could
automatically share port 113 with any machine on the home LAN? This
would include the Windows boxes that form the unfortunate majority on
the LAN. If so, what would be the requirements?
Please understand I'm no expert with networking *or* Debian, but I know
enough to setup small LANs and am generally capable of following
instructions :)
Many thanks in advance :D
Joe
