Is this possible?

Because I can't get this to work any other way, is it possible for my machine B on my LAN to connect from port x to port Y on machine A in order to get to a website's port Z and then for the traffic to come back through machine A to machine B?



If that doesn't make sense I'm trying to get this to work and it won't without a router, but I'd love to use KPF4's advanced rules, or something like it to allow me to do the following:



view an external webpage with port 4020 (java applet) on the url from machine B going via machine A which has a proxy cache on a different port number that can't understand java applet traffic. Machine A should be able to detect connections to anyurl:4020 and know the traffic is for machine B. Configuring the proxy does not and cannot work with java applet traffic.



If you still don't get what I mean, I know its crazy and someone will just say buy a router they cost $10 from walmart, but we don't all live in the US and Asda here doesn't as far as I know sell cheap routers. Neither does PC world. Software should be able to do this kind of thing.



Thanks.

ssh tunneling.

No it doesn't make sense. :)

Yeah, I just don't get it and it sounds real crazy. :)

I also understand they sell refurbished used NAT routers cheap too.

Not sure that I fully understand what you are trying to do, but have a look at lansuite

It is a web server, proxy server, firewall with NAT plus a few extras all in one. Seems that loading this on your machine B might be what you're after. It's free for up to five users (although some features are crippled).

Strange, PC World just around the corner from here does (Solihull). You can order from the PC World web site if you want too, but for most items they're the same price in-store.

Personally, I use eBuyer.com - much cheaper ;)
