Re: Napster..

Are you sure? I'd noticed that if the computer using the napster software is
just masquerading, then no one can download from you - my theory had been that
connections from the outside were not getting sent through properly. They were
able to initiate an attempt to transfer the file, but it never actually went. I
had also noticed this with icq and aim file transfers. Since I've set up NAT
using iptables under a linux 2.4 kernel, this has not been a problem anymore.
