ok, i have 2 machines currently networked with ethernet NICs. I am just using TCP and netbeiu and IP range of 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2. I have a cable connection to internet on the .1 box. I don't really want to use a proxy server like ICS or something. I only want to forward a few ports for dedicated game server purposes. I have tried this with AnanalogX, but it is too flaky and keeps on freezing. Both boxes are running win2k pro. Networking between the two is already establishes and working fine.
If anyone can help me with some ideas on how I might accomplish the port forwarding for the game servers, I would really appreciate it. Thanks ahead of time :)

Again I preach: Why not save yourself some head ache and buy a hardware router? Even the cheap Linksys supports the exporting of services. Seriously, I know that the tools for what you describe can be had in Linux, but to do it on an MS OS you need to find thirdparty software that doesn't crash (fun fun fun)

I've had some bad luck with those hardware "routers". If you have any of the Win2k Server versions, you can use RRAS for that stuff. I'm using it for NATting out my DSL connection and can map external ports to any internal port.
