Hey peeps, here's a new script for multiple players with Starcraft
battle.net behind a linux iptables firewall.
Tested with only 2 computers, so try it out and let me know.

# This is a script to allow Starcraft games to be hosted behind
# a Linux IPTables firewall.
# Tested with Starcraft and 2 machines behind the firewall.
# This may work for other Battle.Net RTS games as well... YMMV
# My Internet IP address
CABLEIP=12.93.33.58
# My PRIVATE LAN Network
# This script assumes Class C network
PRIVLAN=192.168.5
# Battle.Net port usually 6112
BNETPORT=6112
# Enter the last dotted quad IP address of each PC
# We're assuming all the PCs are in a Class C private LAN
# Also, if you have more than 7 PCs, why do you want to get on Battle.net?
# So if my IP address is 192.168.5.5, PC1=5
PC1=5
PC2=98
PC3=
PC4=
PC5=
PC6=
PC7=
PC8=
