is it really?? I have read each one and search all newsgroups
so i thought i'd ask for some advice.

next time how about reading the question in the subject first.
I know you can add single ports but not whole range 1024>65535
that might take some time eh !

got answer now its...
ipmasqadm autofw -A -r tcp 1025 65535 -h INTERNAL_IP_HERE

thanks to mark for help and not shite like this...

surely the best course of action is to get the clients sorted using passive
ftp, instead of opening up a huge range of ports like that ... might as well
not use a firewall ;)
