Greetings:

Can someone help me out with this one? On a Win2k/XP machine, how do I setup Internet Connection Sharing's NAT port mapping for programs that require more than one port or a port range since from what I can tell, if I went to the properties of the Shared connection in Network Connections and then the Advanced tab and click settings, it will show two tabs.

The first one is called Service settings and will allow the name of the service, the name/IP of the internal machine to
forward to, and port number (one port UDP/TCP). This one only allows defining one port number.

The second one is called Programs where one can set the name of the service, the internet server port number, and then listen to port ranges in both TCP and UDP. The question is how do I figure out what the internet server port number should be as some applications use lots of ports and also, how do i define what machine to forward it to? Is there a utility that makes setting this up easier like there is ICSCFG for Win9x. Thanks.
