Topic: vpn ports???

[miked]

Hello All,

I have setup a vpn connection so I can play games that do not support internet games only LAN. I can ping and browse the network access files etc no worries but can not play the game.

I am guessing this has something to do with opening ports.

How do you do this? I have seen a few postings on ip chains, if this is what I need does someone have a user friendly manual?

thanks

I have been reading up on ipchains. Can someone please help me out.

Since I only allow 1 VPN connection. I feel it would be reasonable to allow EVERYTHING to come in on eth1 (-i) from the source ip 192.168.1.* (-s)

What is the command to do this with ipchains and how/where does it get stored so if I need to modify or remove it I can.

This is what I have come up with so far

ipchains -N mikedvpn

ipchains -A mikedvpn -i eth1 -s 192.168.1.3

I know this more than likely is not right, but am I warm?

If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks,
miked
