HotLine, Running a server behind a NAT
firewall
 By: Chris Kaminski Date: Aug 23, 2001
Version: 1.85
Windows and Mac version available
One of the things I really enjoy about the HotLine
server is its ability to run behind a NAT based firewall with very little
configuation. Hotline can be installed on a computer behind NAT based
connection sharing solutions as long as the solution supports custom PORT
FORWARDING or VIRTUAL SERVERS.
Hotline operates on 4 TCP ports: 5500, 5501, 5002
and 5503 by default. All four ports need to be forwarded from your sharing
device to your Hotline server. If your router supports port RANGE
forwarding, specify ports 5500-5503.
If you have configured hotline on a non-standard
port, add three to get your port range. Example: If you set the Hotline
port to 6020, your port range would be 6020 to 6023.

WARNING: Like all file sharing communities,
HotLine is filled with ‘rascals’. Be sure your anti-virus software is up
to date before downloading anything from unknown Hotline web sites. If you
don’t have an anti-virus program you can download one free from
