I'm not into gaming but when you connect to my FTP server your program want's to
know the address. If I hide it you can't find me.
You will have to open an outbound port if it's not in the firewall settings in
the router then you must be running another firewall.
The Norton firewall is very configurable and also a total pain in the backside
but you can allow one program to broadcast the address of the actual machine and
ignore the router but it must know the address before it can do this not if you
are on a static IP address then no problems but if on dynamic as most ISP like
to have you then there can be problems.
Setting my 4 machines turned into a nightmare (see posts of about 3 months ago)
when I updated the router's firmware and it wouldn't recognize anything until I
gave the computers their own static address and told them to use my ISP's server
to get other info.
Try amending the network connection to give the gaming computer a static address
like 192.168.0.2 sub net 255.255.255.0 & default gateway of 192.168.0.1 which is
the router's address - this could be useful and don't forget to remove that
computer from the dynamically assigned addresses.
