ok a followup email to make sure I got this correct. (ie what I tried didnt work) First off the game server is not a local host which may or may not matter, but when I tried adding an alias line into my ppp.conf file nothing changed. Does it matter where in the ppp.conf file (I placed it in the default section) There is actually 3 connections my game makes, a udp on 6112 and 2 tcp connections on 116 and 118. I added in lines of: alias port udp 206.254.73.254:6112 6112 alias port tcp 206.254.73.254:116 116 alias port tcp 206.254.73.254:118 118 oddly enough I also started running tcpdump while I started the game and its the tcp packets that seem to be getting lost. thanks steve > This is probably already possible, you'll need to be able to identify > the <insert your favourite game here> packets by port address.
