Well in this particular case it does alot more than that. It helps with incoming ports being 'blocked', or in most cases not forwarded through the NAT to your machine. Otherwise, you would have to open up the ports for incoming connections on the port (possible security risk) to your machine to make pushes possible. If you're using NAT, you can usually only do this to one machine on the private network at a time. If this really does open up a socket, I'm intrigued and hope to have time to study more about it in the future :) -John -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
