Recently a friend and I decided we would like to play EA's Command and Conquer's Generals in a "Direct Connect" game. We had a time finding information about the ports needed. The Readme file would have you believe you need to open alot of ports to make this work... however upon inspection of the games pratices... I discovered that it listens on port 8086 for UDP(always).. Once a game is started 8088 opens.... So in leaning this(my friend and I) thought we could get by with just some standard PREROUTING(see below) iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 8086 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.25:8086 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 8088 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.25:8088 I'm not the only one having this problem as you can see here... http://www.computing.net/linux/wwwboard/forum/18596.html So my question is... is some sort of con. tracking mod needed? Anyone know anything about this problem? Thanks for your time and help anyone P.S. The friend and I also tried the FirewallPortOveride option and had it ignored as well... So we are at a loss after for searching for help... I'm turning to you capable guys for help :}} ===== "No touchy NO TOUCHY!
