<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">I use a Windows XP as the platform.<BR>I use
WinPcap in my web application which runs among other things, an
Http<BR>server. On the other hand, I need to cope the problem of NAT
routing<BR>traversal since my clients, being connected also to the web, can't
reach me<BR>easily. I want to use the library WinPcap in the following way
-<BR>1. My application initiates a tcp session (with a local port different
than<BR>the Http server) to a rendezvous server.<BR>2. I use in the background
the WinPcap library to spoof the transmitted<BR>session and modify the packet
source port as the Http server port. This<BR>would "open" my NAT router for an
incoming packets, should they arrive(the original packet would also open some
hole in the router but I make no use with it).<BR>3. The rendezvous server
tells the remote client the info regarding the<BR>external router port and
address.<BR>4. The remote client uses this information to initiate session
with my Http server.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><BR>Can someone refer and advise wither this
algorithm would work?<BR><BR>Thanks in advance<BR><BR>I.
