Question on Networking...

[Terror]

I am behind a firewall on my home network and ALWAYS get a TCP connection.  I was wondering what ports I could open up on my firewall to allow the UDP connection.  In other words, what TCP/UDP ports are being used by AcesHigh?

Thanx a bunch!

Good question but...

Are you behind a real firewall, or are you using NAT or proxy?  If you are using something like Win98 ICS or something else that does NAT, it won't function properly.  The UDP packets will come from outside, and since UDP is connectionless, the NAT or proxy machine won't know what to do with them.

However... if we can learn the ports, some things like Proxy Server can map them to the client and get it working that way.  I may need this info soon myself...

"MY P-47 is a pretty good ship
And she took a round coming 'cross the Channel last trip
I was thinking 'bout my baby and lettin' her rip
Always got me through so far
Well they can ship me all over this great big world
But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl
I'm taking her home with me one day, sir
Soon as we win this war"

Yes, I am using LINUX with IPCHAINS to do IP Masquerading.  I can, however, map individual tcp/udp ports to specific IP client and more than likely get it to work that way.  It will be a learning experience, but fun all the same!
