If you can help me clean up the documentation, others will
appreciate it later!

Not all will work but we can try.

Sorry about that. They have been fixed but I have to put the
new HOWTO up.

Correct. This is NOT a possibility without a proxy being written for
your specific game. Though one was written for Quake I, II, and III,
there probably won't been enough demand to get most games supported.
>Is ipautofw what I need?
No.. use the IPORTFW support in the IPMASQADM tool found at
http://juanjox.kernelnotes.org. This will work for some games but
NOT all. Other games will work with the LooseUDP patch which is
already built into the 2.2.x kernels. After that, its up to the
game being NAT-friendly.
If you aren't sure what IP ports a given game uses, try running
TCPDUMP on the internal interface of the Linux box. Then run the
game and see what traffic is gerated. From there, use the IPMASQADM
tool and forward those protocols from the internet to your Game
machine.
