Jeff:

    Thanks for the response. I recently figured out that the problem was I entered the
parameters for the datapipe program in the wrong order. OOPS! Once I entered them
correctly the forwarding works just fine. The dfocumentation for datapipe state enter the
parameters as such

datapipe localhost localport remotehost remoteport

what that means is:

datapipe   internet_host    port_on_internet_host     host_on_local_ethernet
host_port_on_local_ethernet

which seems backwards to me.

Thanks for the help!
