Hi, is such a setup possible?
I want to join two small home lans (both behind a Cable/NAT Router) with a VPN for multiplayer gaming. As the routers have built-in VPN setups for lan-to-lan connections I was able to join the 2 networks together. However this creates 2 network segments (192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x) and then the Broadcasts from the games do not reach the 2 network segment. This prevents playing multiplayer games because the games you open don't show up in the game lobbies.
Would WinGate VPN be able to join these 2 networks into 1 network segment so all broadcasts would reach the second network? And would it be possible for friends of ours to connect single pc's to this VPN and also become part of that network segment?
The idea is to play whatever game we want. We have old games which use IPX (over TCP/IP with the Windows protocol IPX/SPX Nwlink over TCP/IP), the we have games which use UDP only and we have newer games which use TCP/IP.
Is such a setup possible? Especially the IPX routing/broadcasting is important as some old games do not offer UDP or TCP/IP, but as far as I understand, this should be ok because IPX runs ontop TCP/IP when you use the Windows IPX/SPX NwLink protocol.
Thanks for lettin me know.
