Configuration for a games server

[Tr4nC3R 0]

Please can somebody tell me or give me a web link to a location were i can find some information on how to get my server running now i have adsl.

I have my win-box connected to my dsl line, this is running 'me' and connected to my home network via a hub. All my machines are configured and running sweet. I wish to redirect all requests on a certain port number to my games server. I have done this a long time ago and only screwed it up last week when i got adsl. Help. I have put 'me' on the machine directly connected to the outside world. Was this a bad idea ? Suggestion,comments, and any help would be greatly appreciated. I have static ip's as you would expect. If thats any help.

I can steer you to many sites for help, though I still have yet to solve my problem which is the same as yours. So if you find a answer let me know how you solved it.

Here are some of the sites that have some good info:

Hope these give you someplace to start.

N1 ! It all came back when i read some lit on one of those sites. One of those myths how the net works. You knowwhat you want and find it eventually. But could you find it again, I think not. Its cool. NC check out the below it solves the puzzles who need to cracK. Thx M8 Or Have you already got this far

You have to edit the hosts file on your machine, If its not got one create one. Don't know your os or chipset ie Unix/sparc/intel but i can tell you were. Call it hosts.txt Then edit this with the code to redirect port requests to LAN host. Heres the Hard bit.

I got this info for starters Quote:

On the gateway, we setup the rule that all connections to port 80/tcp should be redirected to port 80 on 10.0.0.2 (an internal machine). The incoming web connection would be labelled:

Source: 163.158.1.2/7890 Dest: 194.160.1.1/80

This would be forwarded on to the internal host as:

Source: 163.158.1.2/7890 Dest: 10.0.0.2/80

Replies would be labelled:

Source: 10.0.0.2/80 Dest: 163.158.1.2/7890

and would be rewritten by the gateway to:

Source 194.160.1.1 Dest: 163.158.1.2/7890

My heads HiGh so I will miss on the above 2Ni8t. FooD for thought but its easy to Ban people as well with static ips. You just restrict access to a anywhere off your network on a given port ¿ I remember but it went that simply when I had it done I did't remember because I thought it was easy.

Solved this but having trouble now with router, Bummer.

I did in fact finally figure my problem, this was the solution.

I had to go into the control panel/ network connections/ in there I have a 1394 connection and my nic card, go to properties, tcp/ip advanced which takes you to internet protocol properties, then hit that advanced to get to advanced tcp/ip settings then the tab marked options, highlight tcp/ip filtering and hit properties make sure that filtering is enabled and permit all is set on all ports. Whew what a mouthful. LOL Mine were not enabled so I believe that was my problem, then I went over to my nic card and did the same thing and now I'm good to go.

Don't know if that will ever help anyone but at least it's here for reference.

Now on to your router problem...what kind of router and what specifically is the problem, also include your OS, what kind of server you want to run etc.

Over all this time screwing around and researching my little annoyance, I may be able to find something that will do you some good.
