I have had a similar problem playing Warcraft 2 online. Luckily the software told me that I needed to open up port 6112 for battle.net to work ok. If you are running a firewall this may be an option. I also use dhcp to assign 192.168 addresses to my lan, and run a firewall. The workstations (some windows, some freebsd) dont even know that there is a firewall open. Keep in mind that I am no expert in this situation, and my answer may not answer your question. But if you are running a firewall, keep these options open. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Joe & Fhe > Barbish > Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 02:16 PM > To: FBSDQ > Subject: Runing games behind gateway with private ip address. > > > I have FBSD configured as gateway with private ip address for Lan > with 2 win98 workstations.
