Help! I can't see my internal PC!

[NeMeSi]

I have 3 computers hooked to the @home internet via sygate. The main PC has 2 nics: one the has the net coming in and on that feeds it out to my slave computers. I have an Oracle database that I want to access, across the net, on one of my slave PC's. The problem is, I don't know how to make my slave PC become visible as all the internet is being routed through my main PC via sygate at an IP address of 24.x.x.x. How can I make it work so that I can ping and connect to my slave PC directly, via a remote internet connection??

It seems like what you want to do is actually route through your proxy to your internal machine. Although its been a while since I've fiddled with sygate I believe it has that capability. Try reading through the help files with Sygate. You'll need to know what port Oracle runs on and the ip of the internal machine.
HTH.

This is called port-mapping.

You set up a listener on your main PC...listens on the external NIC, on a specific port. The listener then routes any traffic from the listener through the internal nic, to the ip address of your "slave" pc with oracle, on a specific port.

To oracle, it thinks the master PC is talking oracle stuff on whatever port.
To your client, it thinks it's talking to the Master PC, which is an oracle server.

NB: The ports on the Main PC and the Oracle PC don't have to be the same.
NB#2: Anybody on the inet can scan the Main PC, and find the open port--anything they send on that port will go right to the Oracle PC. Security risk? Yes--but it's yours to manage as you will.
