I would like to use the apache web server in 10.2 to serve some pages etc and run Sendmail to handle email and so on....but my situation is somewhat different. I live in outback Australia, and use a 2way satelite to get on the net. its drivers are for windows2000 only. (I am definately an idiot re: win2000 networking) I MUST use the satelites assigned fixed ip setup on the Windows machine to establish the internet connection, and then a networked mac gets access to that internet connection via ethernet. (works very well for mac browsing, and mail retrieval)....but I was hoping somebody might be knowledgable enough on both platforms to help me get windows to "tunnel"??? so that the mac is the computer that can "serve" any incoming requests to the fixed ip (not the win2000 machine)... Is this even possible? How do you setup the pc? I dont know who to ask. maybe somebody could point me in the right direction? cheers.

  If you go to start/Settings/Network and Dial-Up Connections/(your satelite connection) and go to properties, select the sharing tab. I assume that you are already sharing this connection to allow your mac to access the web, etc. click on settings, and in the next pane select te servers tab. here you will find a list of well known services such as ftp, smtp, etc. (although strangely no http) with checkboxes by them. clicking the checkbox activates the port forwarding. you need to specify the IP address of your Mac for every service that you want to forward. to add http for your web server, click the add button, give the service a name, give it a port, and specify the IP of the Mac. that should get te port forwarding working on the Win2k box, any requests made to your public IP on that port will be automatically forwarded to the inside IP that you specified.
