Can you set up IPtables to forward packets without NATing them (ie run the game on a local network link) and LOG everything which goes through the machine to find out what packets are really being sent ? Alternatively, use the NAT rules you think are required, and add a LOG rule at the beginning of the FORWARD chain, again to see what packets are really going through your machine ? When you asked EA sports, do you just ask them what ports were used, or did you ask them if it could work through a NAT system ? Antony.
