I'm trying to set up a GPL server at work. I have forwarded port 6968-6971, 32000 and 32766-32786. It shows up at VROC but it's not possible to join it, and it can't be remotely controlled. Now I've done the same at home with success. At home I have a simple router running NAT and a packet filter "firewall". At work I have a stateful inspection firewall/router running nat. This firewall/router is placed behind an ADSL router also running NAT, but set up to foreward all TCP and UDP packets. Now I remember there beeing some third protocol. Could that be the problem? It seems wrong to have the ADSL router also running NAT. Can't see why it should not work as long as it forewards everything, but it seems unessasry to set it up this way. It's a Cisco 677iDIR in case there are any Cisco wizards around here Sorry if my "K" server still showing at VROC. It will soon end it's list. If not I will at least shut it down Monday morning :) Jone

I forwarded only UDP on these ports. I found out now that 32000 is supposed to be TCP. Are all the other ports UDP only or do I have to foreward both UDP and TCP? Are all the ports from 6968-6971 used? Some say its 6969-6971, some 6970-6971 and some 6968-6971. Could parts of this range only have been in use by older versions of VROC? Jone.

Possibly you don't need to open them at all. In a trace I see only 6970, and only outgoing. Pings seem to come from Winvroc clients as regular pings (ICMP packets). Bart Westra
