Umm, this sounds like a job for Watchguard tech support.  The NAT that I use
(provided by my friends the colo people) has ipchains and does not block any
ports.  It only opens specified ports, and only specified ports.  You can
look thru the archives for more on ipchains (highly reccomended).

Just type this into whatever CLI you're using to term into your box.

 ping yourboxipaddresshere:81

This command is universal (everyone feel free to point out a situation where
ping isn't ping) and will tell you absolutely whether you have port 81
access or not.   Before you hit enter on the command, pray to the server
gods that you have port problem, if not, time for a restore.

Telnet, ewwwww.  Go to pkgmaster.com and find yourself a copy of the OpenSSH
pkg.  Turn off the telnet server once its installed, and get either Putty
for PC, MacSSH for mac and use that.

Brad, you said you wanted another machine, will Jim's do?????
Later
