DTR/GAMESPY & SYGATE Here is how I made it work...(Hulkster #99)

Hi

Got DTR to work through my Sygate 3.0 NAT

I did not host games (no cable - 56k). I just connected to games...

You need a new entry in your Apprule.cfg file

Just edit it with notepad or something similar...

Now this is not perfect, I am opening a ton of sockets!!!! More than
needed for sure but:

Never got exact specs from either Gamespy, RatBag....

THIS COULD COMPROMISE SECURITY OF YOUR
NETWORK BECAUSE SO MANY SOCKETS WILL BE OPENED
! BE CAREFULL I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY
FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS...

This is a real RAMBO approach...Not neat, some ports opened twice...I
will tune eventually...if you are interested in getting decent
intelligent one when i have time to do tests or have comments, e-mail
me...

Add these line to your apprule.cfg file:

dont put in whats in () there are comments for your reading
pleasure...

 ######USER DEFINITION######  (already there)
 #DIRT TRACK RACING
 :INIT "DTR"
 OUT    TCP     28940 28940     0.0.0.0 0       R (triggers opening)
 :SUB                                              
 IN     TCP     28940 28940     0.0.0.0 0       AD
 IN     TCP     2 65534         0.0.0.0 0       AD
 OUT    TCP     2 65534         0.0.0.0 0       D
 IN     UDP     2 65534         0.0.0.0 0       AD
 OUT    UDP     2 65534         0.0.0.0 0       D
 :END

What needs to be done...:

Specify just the right ports and check if default timeout for socket
closure after inactivity is ok....
