Title: 2 PC behind firewall wanting to play h2h
Post by: twisty21 on October 08, 2001, 10:42:00 AM

2 pc on same network
both work fine

have a linux gateway/firewall

origincal message from internet connectivity thread :

2 accounts that work fine by themselves
but when 1 hosts other can't join
vice versa.
I can forward whatever ports are required.
but have NFI what part of the ports goto each machine etc.


Thanks in advance

Twisty; If both PCs are on the same IP network and on the same side of the firewall then the firewall isn't a factor. Are you running any personal firewall software like ZoneAlarm or one of many others?

Can you ping and browse between the PCs?

i thought my gateway needed some ports, i see what your saying it should direct connect..


i heard mention of "lan" mode?
does that exist?

why would the comptuer not connect ? it times out when trying to join server.


topology is  


Cable---NIXBOX---HUB --- HUB--- 2pc's i want to use.
