No, you've got it right. Ok, ruling out one thing then... I still can't access the web server via http://www.cybersampson.com!!! #$%#!& I'm beginning to think it's the web server that is denying access. I'm thinking that the web server does accept requests from the private network but is *somehow* denying requests that pass through the DCD router. Would that be possible even though the forwarded packets are now inside the private network? I do not know enough about TCP/IP packet structure to be able to answer this question adequately. Can someone verify or debunk this? ~Doug _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
