Can I forward ports in ICS?

[Shag]

Not getting any bites in the OS forum, maybe I'll have better luck here...

I'm currently using ICS on Win2k Pro to share my cable modem connection between 3 computers. I need all data coming into a specific port to be forwarded on to one of the computers behind the server computer. Is it possible to setup ICS to forward specific ports? If so, can anyone point me to documentation on how to do so?

Thanks.

I don't know if it's possible in win2k in win98se it is, but it is very hard to do and you need to hack the registry. Do a search on the microcarp site for it.

To configure Internet connection sharing for applications and services

Open Network and Dial-up Connections
Right-click the shared connection, and then click Properties.
On the Sharing tab, verify the Enable Internet connection sharing for this connection check box is selected, and then click Settings.
If you want to configure a network application for the computers sharing the connection, on the Applications tab, click Add, and then do the following:
In Name of application, type an easily recognized name for the application.
In Remote server port number, type the port number of the remote server where the application resides, and then click either TCP or UDP.
In TCP or UDP or both, type the port number for the port on your home network that the application will connect to. Some applications require TCP and UDP port numbers.
If you want to configure a service to provide to users on remote networks, on the Services tab, click Add, and then do the following:
In Name of Service, type an easily recognized name for the service.
In Service port number, type the port number of the computer where the service resides, and then click either TCP or UDP.
In Name or address of server computer on private network, type the name or TCP/IP address of the computer on your home network where the service resides.
End of quote.
Hope it helps.
