Well I have had pcanywhere working with = portfw=20 through my firewall for quite some time now.  Only problem is that = slow=20 connections have a problem connecting through the firewall.  I = believe this=20 is due to PCanywhere's use of UDP packets as a discovery tool.  = Anyone know=20 of a way to make IPMASQADM portfw more firendly to these UDP = packets?? =20 here is my current implementation.
 

# PCAnywhere (5631 & 5632)

$IPCHAINS -A input -p tcp -s $REMOTENET -d $EXTNET 5631 -j ACCEPT

$IPCHAINS -A input -p udp -s $REMOTENET -d $EXTNET 5632 -j ACCEPT

echo -n "."

#$IPMASQADM portfw -a -P tcp -L $EXTIP 5631 -R $INTIP = 5631

#$IPMASQADM portfw -a -P udp -L $EXTIP 5632 -R $INTIP = 5632

#echo -n "."

 

Thanks,
