wingate redirect problems on port 3150 UDP for settlers IV.

[chief]

hi,

I got wingate working and I also got port redirect working for other games. But Settlers IV (which has always had router problems in it's netcode it has to be admitted) just doesn't want to play ball.

The setup for the ports is:
Open ports 3000, 3105, 7000. 8000, 8001, 9007, 9008, 9009, 10000, 10001, 10002

Forward ports 3000 and 3105 TCP and UDP (the other ports are UDP only)

Now I set them up to redirect to my lan ip instead of allow (same as I've done with other games which work perfectly).

What happens however is that when the game launches (it doesnt matter if I try hosting or the other players try hosting ) then Wingate firewall kicks in and blocks all attempts of the players to access port 3105 UDP and it doesn't try to redirect.

I can't understand why it's doing this as it's redirected other game ports perfectly so i'm hoping you can give me an idea as to why this is happening (a friend and I already tried for 2 hours to sort this problem out - he is also a wingate latest version user).

Thanks for any help you can give :)

Without knowing alot about the game in question, heres a few questions / suggestions.

1. Can I get you to confirm that when you have the port 3105 UDP mapped, it still comes up as getting stopped by the firewall?
2. Can you delete out that port mapping / redirection and add it back in again?
3. When setting up the redirection, did you try using the "Don't translate Source IP" option?
4. Can you add 3105 UDP into the following location?

GateKeeper
Extended Networking
Routing
Advanced
