Port Mapping?

[pwagener]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a way to redirect connections to specific ports on my Mac to a linux VM running in parallels. So, for instance, if someone connected to port 8088 on my Mac, it would forward the connection to port 80 on the Linux VM.

Any idea how to do this? I suppose I could thrash around myself setting up ipfw and natd, but would certainly appreciate it if someone else has already done so.


Thanks,

Peter

Why not just use Bridged Networking and give your Linux VM it's own IP? It would make life SOO much easier, trust me, I speak from experience. Setting up a router to forward to a different IP is much easier than messing with your OS X Network Address Translation Daemon and IP Forwarding.
