David...forgive me for dwelling on a minor issue...I just can't help but
think there's a way to make this work.
I would still like to be able to run the Battlenet emulator inside the
network and be able to host a game at the same time. I've come to the
conclusion that there's nothing wrong...rather I've just run into a
limitation. When running the server inside, TCP port 6112 is redirected to
that machine. UDP port 6112 is redirected to the game machine. Buddies can
connect to the server from the outside and I can connect from the inside. If
someone outside initiates a game, the server basically tells my inside SC
machine 'go to this IP' and the game traffic is appropriately masqed. If I
initiate the game, the server tells the outsiders connected 'the game is at
192.168.yada.yada'. Doesn't happen. If I could somehow fool the server in
the lan into thinking I've connected from the external interface of the masq
machine I think this could work. Is there a way to use REDIRECT or MASQ to
achieve this admittedly screwy idea?
Thanks for taking another look.
Regards,
Jeff

IPAUTOFW sucks.. I'm going to email Juanjo to see if he can downright
remove it from IPMASQADM.
