Topic: Please help hosting

[war]

Hi there,
Please help. I want to host a game of warcraft.  Now if i dont use sme server and i forward port 6112 to my pc ip it works fine, but i want to use my sme server. BUT when its in place as Server Gateway mode i cant seem to host.People can see the game but cant join.

Thanks

Any help?

I was wondering. If the server has 2 nic's. Setup in server gateway mode. 1 nic external ip, other lan ip.
Should i get the router to forward the port to my in lan ip? will it go through the server, or should i get the router to forward the port to sme server and then forward the port with sme server to my lan ip. Will that work.
ill be greatfull for any help.

IMO the SME works best in server/gateway mode without a router. You'll only complicate things with a router, especially on a home network. Do you have any specific reasons that you can't set this up server/gateway? (for example, i have 30 locations that i can't get the sme to vpn simultaneously to all, so putting out-of-the-box vpn routers makes everything nice and easy).

if you're intent on sticking with the router, on the router forward the port to the SME. then from the SME forward the port to the workstation (static hopefully).

BTW, I must have played that game for 4 days straight, morning -noon -night. no lie.
