you cant/dont/shouldnt/will break stuff/will stop things from working etc
etc etc if you "turn off NAT" on the m10. (one wonders if people actually
bother reading this list ??)

cool, PC Anywhere for linux ? where do i get a copy ? if you are trying to
connect to a machine *behind* the cube (i gather this is what you mean -
one wonders why you didnt just say this instead of insinuateing that you
ran PC Anywhere on the cube) you will need to pinhole on the cube the
correct TCP/UDP/Whatever ports through to the respective PC anywhere
server

so, lets say PC Anywhere for arguments sake runs on UDP port 12345

Client ---> m10 ----> cube ----> server

the m10 has NAT enabled
the cube has NAT enabled
m10 setup to pinhole port 12345 (UDP) through to the cube
the cube setup to pinhole port 12345 (UDP) through to the server
the client connects to port 12345 (UDP) of your external (static) ADSL address

not knowing the web config interface for the cube i will not be able to
tell you which buttons to press, why dont you sit down and draw what you
are trying to do on a bit of paper and work it out from there, its not
actually that hard to visualise.
