Your 'router', actually a NAT gateway is the better wording, should be configured to forward proto-41 packets to the internal host. Usually that would mean configuring it to forward anything 'unknown' to a specific host, usually this option is called 'default' or something similar. For your SiteCom DC202(v1) see it's manual, page 42 (what a coincidence, 42 is always the answer :) ) and use the DMZ feature to assign a 'default' PC for all unknown packets. And it should work(tm)

Sorry for kicking an old thread. But if I use that feature, *everything* will be forwarded to the 'default' PC ? Isn't that unsecure?

Why would that be unsecure? If you want 'security' don't turn on your computer oh and remove all cabling, and most likely take out anything that could make it do anything aka take it apart. IP is about letting computers talk to each other not about making them not talk to each other. Windows XP doesn't have a IPv4 and IPv6 firewall builtin for nothing.

Because it is a Linux system which is not 100% secure configged. Old kernel etc .. That is one of the reasons why it would be unsecure.

Maybe a silly answer but, why don't you upgrade it then? Everything that is not upgraded is insecure. And remember: a NAT is *NOT* a firewall.
