This is an issue I have to solve for my roomate as he is running Windows 98 and wants to play MechWarrrior 3 online at msn gamezone. my network topology is as follows... I am running FreeBSD 4.0 that connects to PacBell DSL via PPPoE and is the gateway for the internal LAN in my apartment. ppp is being run on the FreeBSD machine with the -nat option... I am not using ipfw or any rules presently... The 2 apartment nodes are my imac and my roomate's Windows 98 PC. After reading Microsoft's game zone support site and the MechWarrior's manual I gather i must make two things happen... I must make it look as if my roomate's PC has the IP address of the FreeBSD box and I must re-map certain ports from the FreeBSD machine directly to his computer. Here's the link from msn's gaming site: http://support.microsoft.com/Support/Games/Zone/Tshoot/Causes/Proxy.asp Is it possible to do all of this re-mapping and stuff from within ppp.conf using some of the "nat" related features or do I need to set up another program to run on FreeBSD? thanks, -Adam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
