Well, probably, but I've found most of the home broadband firewalls doing NAT don't seem to support it, at least by default. Maybe I'm just clueless on how to set it up, but I've always found active mode a royal PITA and passive mode to work fine. :) At work, yes I do need a better firewall. We're running some ancient Yugo-brand firewall/router box that seriously needs to spend time in a junkyard[1]. Too bad the IT department thinks it's wonderful. Ugh. --Jeremy [1] It does run on OpenBSD, so it's not all bad.
