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....
