Why cant I play certain games!!
« on: March 01, 2002, 09:48:00 PM »
Hello everyone Im wondering why I cant play certain games with my friends. Im able to play like starcraft,counterstrike empire earth ect. But when I try to play age of empires 2 or earth2150 or something like that it never works. Ive even tried ip games where I connect soly to there ips but it never finds them and im sure its because of esmith because I could play fine before I had esmith server.
Im running the newest esmith and have a network of two computers, also wondering what most gaming ports are such what ports would ip games use and if esmith has those open, Im not very smart at linux so Im so sorry for the stupid questions Im lucky I got it up and running :). So if anyone knows please feel free to help me and probably many others with the same questions I know If I knew the answers that you linux gurus do I would be delighted to help as many as I could. Knowing now that linux is the key to computing world not microsnot. Thank you

you need to update your iptable for the e-smith firewall allow the dxplay port to be open...
