From what I understand quake starts the cleint server process with public request to a upd port somewhere around 26000, or whatever the game is setup on, after the public request the quake server picks a random port somewhere between 1100~1400, but I think it's closer to the 1100~1200 range. So I then added 300 lines(I will cut this down later!) of > > alias upd 192.0.0.29:1100 1100 > alias upd 192.0.0.29:1101 1101 > >to my ppp.conf file, and everything works, but only my machine can connect(192.0.0.29) Or, you can download the latest version of quakeworld client, it works great! You can even have multiple machines from your lan on the same server, and it was created for those of us on modems! If you try to alias the ports, only the one machine will be able to connect to the server. I've also found a quake proxy server for Freebsd, which also works well, but only one machine can connect to the same server, and it's a pain to start. If you need/want it let me know...... later At 02:58 PM 11/18/97 PST8, sdginn@CCGATE.HAC.COM wrote: > Hello I am running FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE and have ip forwarding > enabled and GATEWAY=YES in the /etc/sysconfig and my gateway seems to > be working fine.
