RE: Port Forwarding With 2 NIC Configuration

Thanks so much! That very much helps. I only have 2 remaining questions:

1) Am I required to enter a protocol? I am only interested in doing
straight port forwarding (I am comparing to when I do it via a router, which
does not require a protocol to be specified).

2) Can SBS do 1-to-1 Natting? I have a couple public IPs which must be
mapped directly to a couple internal IPs. Again, I am only familiar with
doing this via a router (and this option is not available to me at this
point).

Thanks again so VERY VERY much for your patience with me!!!

Cheers,
rolf
