Hi guys,

I have a small problem and it's like this,

I have a stand alone Windows XP pc where I have installed one
loopback adapter.. And I have created an incoming connection to accept
requests, Now when I connect to that PC using another PC(thru Dial-Up), The
Client PC (Windows XP PC) will assign an IP. so I want that this IP specific
port packets to route to the loop back adapter IP address ..

is this possible to do ? I highly appreciate your time.... on this matter

Hi, Aruna -

I wasn't clear on one or two things but I'll give it a shot :)

If you're trying to route *all* traffic from one IP address to the
loopback adapter you can do this by adding a static route to the
machine - if you open a command prompt window and type route /? you'll
find some really cryptic instructions that you can google for more help
;-)

If you're trying to route traffic on a specific *port* to the loopback
adapter you'll need a personal firewall installed on the host machine.
I'm not sure the one that comes with Windows XP will get you where you
want to go.

Hope this helps -
