However we need to "secure" the site and wanted to insert a firewall between the modem and the LTSP server, hence the question. Therefore both an IP forwarding and a port forwarding needs to be done ? Could you give me an example ? thanks norbert <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:julius@turtle.com">julius@turtle.com</a> wrote: <blockquote type="cite" cite="midPine.GHP.4.43.0403152141570.20881-100000@turtle.turtle.com"> <pre wrap="">On Mon, 15 Mar 2004, norbert wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Thanks for the tip however this setup is being used to teach classes REMOTELY & the students need to access the K12ltsp server graphically to run their web design programs.

You have to rethink the application. I have a limited success accessing a server with x or VNC from home, where i have cable connect usually running in the 5+ Mb range. The server is connectec by T1, so right there we have a bottle neck. julius _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.k12os.org"><http://www.k12os.org></a> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
