Re: [coLinux-users] Port Forwarding/Router question

[Sam M. <pa...@gm...>]

I have something like that set up, except its not the wider internet,
just my company LAN. Basically I set mine up in bridged mode (Windows
XP Pro) so that it became a part of my local network, as if it was
directly connected. This method makes port forwarding much easier.

If you have NAT'd it, you would be best off (IMHO) using port
forwarding on your Windows box to get it from there. The best option
(again IMHO) is to set it up with a bridged mode connection, as it
makes it look like its directly connected to your network segment like
a normal physical server.
