Topic: Opening UDP ports for gaming on multiple machines?  (Read 1972 times)

I play a MMORPG, on two separate machines.  The game uses UDP ports 9000-90?? (have to port sniff it to be sure).  I'm new to M0n0wall, how can I open up these ports for both of my machines?

You can't forward the same port(s) to more than one machine.

port triggering perhaps?

There is no port triggering capability in m0n0wall, and highly unlikely it would ever be added.

damn... I know the game is "smart enough" to use different ports so they can operate at the same time on multiple machines, but I don't know if I can specify which machine uses which port/set of ports.  If I'm unable to run the game on two machines, thats such a Con to using monowall I'd have to dump it and go back to my store-bought broadband router.

turns out I can change the port manually....  the top setting is the true-false for auto-port selection, set to false and you can manually set the port with the third option

Quote
[Net]
ComputeUniquePort=False
BindInterface=
UserSpecifiedPort=9000

So I'll set my machines to static, set up the firewall and games to specific ports, done... Cool

Unless you have your own public network.
