Yes exactly.

The gateway box is running WinXP Home, I don't know what version of ICS it
has...

The problem that bothers me the most is that I have to add every FTP i
connect to to the trusted zone on the gateway firewall, I'm also having
trouble running an ftp-server on my(the client) computer, although I don't
know if that problem has to do with the firewall. So basicly I want the
firewall on the gateway to allow both inbound and outbound traffic to the
internet from the LAN.
Do you know how I configure the ICS to permit the pass-through information
you spoke of in the beginning of the post, or do you know where I can find
information on it?
