Hi Ryan,

You should take a look at the connection mechanisms >beqeath< and >redirect<.
As far as I remember from my exam-preperation only the first will work as the other will try to open a TCP-connection on a random port. Maybe You should also look at the firewall-settings if it is allowed, that connections can be opened from hosts outside the firewall to a host inside; normally this is not allowed.
