some conflict (not exactly sure whats going on)

Jun 13 04 3:59 am

hi, i got a weird problem which concerns wingate. when i have more than 1 client sharing the internet through wingate then there seems to be a conflict when either computer enters an online game of warcraft 3 or age of empires etc... basically, when one of the client computers enters a game (through battle.net or whatever) then the other client cannot enter afterwards. I think it has something to do with a port conflict or something when wingate routes the data to the clients. Its strange because i never had this problem with windows standard ics. pls dont make me go back to that crap :) thanx

It can be simply because of the fact that NAT substitutes your clients IPs with the external IP address of your Wingate machine - the game server just cannot accept two separate connection requests coming from the same IP address.

yeah i know wat it does, but i've had this working before on standard ics which comes with windows xp, except i have this problem with wingate which only allows one of the clients to enter the game. is there a way to fix this issue? perhaps with port mapping or setting changes??

We'll take a closer look at our application support - might be a bug there.
