Thanks so much for this program - it has saved my life.

I have two complaints, though. Firstly, it was too hard to find. I only happened to find a link to it as I was browsing the Winpcap site (I had started writing a simpler version of GIT myself - since I didn't know it existed)

I had scoured google for things like "forward broadcast packets" and variations on that theme, but never saw GIT. And since my application isn't gaming, I might have passed it by even if I did. So please try and get it better listed in google so others can find it.

Second, I found the configuration a little difficult at first - the readme is a little confusing and the configuration page makes it seem like you're setting up a client, whereas (I still am not sure) it seems like you have the option to set up a client or a server, depending on whether you choose tcp listen or tcp connect?

I really believe there is a wider demand for this program. I even believe it should forward netbiosIP packets is so asked, so that people with small VPN's can avoid all the workarounds necessary to do SMB networking easily.

Feel free to link to GIT anyplace with those terms, if you want to improve the google listing :)
GIT has evolved some over time, and it no longer is just for IPX packets, it is a very generic tunnel, and it can forward netbios IP packets if you want.
There may or may not be much of a demand for GIT, but unless I could make GIT a commericial program, the limited amount of documentation and the forums here will have to suffice for now.
