To be honest, I had no idea what to summarize my issue as in the subject; pardon any misunderstanding.
I have a rather old application (2003) that needs to be able to accept and create DCC connections. It was apparently not coded to be aware of private network IP addresses and when any attempts at a connection are made outside of my LAN, the connection fails because it is reporting the LAN IP to the client. I vaguely remember reading _somewhere_ that it's possible, through use of a script or the routing tables (I don't know which), to force an application to appear as if it not using a private IP to its clients.
I thought I would ask this before I started making changes to the source, to save myself some time and anguish. Any ideas?
