Well to be honest and from my experience (or inexperience) with Micro$oft's MechWarrior 4 game it IS possible for ONE computer to play behind an iptables firewall. I do not know that much about iptables and I am learning gradually from this mailing list... but here is what I have on my firewall so I can play MechWarrior 4 (Please don't beat me up to badly... I'm an iptables noob!): IPTABLES="/sbin/iptables" STATIC_IP="My IP address from the ISP" INTERNAL="My game systems's internal ip address" $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -d $STATIC_IP --dport 6073 -j DNAT --to $INTERNAL:6073 $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d $STATIC_IP --dport 6667 -j DNAT --to $INTERNAL:6667 $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d $STATIC_IP --dport 9999 -j DNAT --to $INTERNAL:9999 $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d $STATIC_IP --dport 2200:2400 -j DNAT --to $INTERNAL:2200-2400 $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -d $STATIC_IP --dport 2200:2400 -j DNAT --to $INTERNAL:2200-2400 $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -d $STATIC_IP --dport 27999:29000 -j DNAT --to $INTERNAL:27999-29000 $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d $STATIC_IP --dport 27999:29000 -j DNAT --to $INTERNAL:27999-29000 $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d $STATIC_IP --dport 47624 -j DNAT --to $INTERNAL:47624 $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -d $STATIC_IP --dport 47624 -j DNAT --to $INTERNAL:47624 $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -p udp -d $INTERNAL --dport 6073 -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -p tcp -d $INTERNAL --dport 6667 -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -p tcp -d $INTERNAL --dport 9999 -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -p tcp -d $INTERNAL --dport 2200:2400 -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -p udp -d $INTERNAL --dport 2200:2400 -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -p udp -d $INTERNAL --dport 27999:29000 -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -p tcp -d $INTERNAL --dport 27999:29000 -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -p tcp -d $INTERNAL --dport 47624 -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -p udp -d $INTERNAL --dport 47624 -j ACCEPT Comments, corrections, and advice are welcome.
