by Here is the problem I am having. I am not able to get my router to forward
udp and or tcp packets for microsoft direct play applications. I have
included a copy of my running config and some of the things I have tried.
According to microsofts sight I need to have these ports open.
TCP Port 47624 (inbound and outbound)
TCP Ports 2300-2400 (all ports in this series, inbound and outbound)
UDP Ports 2300-2400 (all ports in this series, inbound and outbound)
Other non direct play apps. have no trouble opening up the ports they need,
the problem lies with direct play only. Here are the steps I have tried to
correct the problem.
1) I have created access lists to permit all protocols with no results.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but if I have no access lists created I am
not resricting acceess at all...I think ?
2) I have inserted a ip-helper address of 10.1.1.1 (router ip) in my
ethernet0 interface with no result.
3)I have enabled the ip directed-broadcast on all interfaces...no result.
4)I have tried to use the ip forward-protocol udp command on my ethernet0
interface but it does not seem to take the command...I believe it has
something to do with a conflict with the ip directed-broadcast command...?
I am a newbie with IOS but I have been trying to learn. But I am just
beating my head against the wall now. I realize that it is probably
something simple or a combination of commands that I'm missing. Any help or
guidance that you can give will be greatly appreciated. If you need more
info on my setup please email me...Thanks in advance.
