I set up ip-masquerading on redhat 6.0
Ok it works great for mail and netscape and
traceroute and ping work great. BUT none of
my internet games work.
Tired delta force and some others and nothing.
with netstat -M
i get tcp list and the site address but no connect
the game just give me a blank screen.
Are most games ipx and not tcp ???
If so how do I get ipx to work with masquerade?

thanks for any info on this

Can't do IPX with IP-Masq, different protocols with different rules. And
no, most games now are TCP or UDP and not IPX. Anyway, get the latest
kernel (2.2.??, but I have had luck with 2.3.5). The newer stuff
requires more trickery than plain vanilla Masq can do. Also, there are
some modules that should be in /lib/modules/kernel.version/net that can
be loaded from (and I don't do rh, but this should be close) rc.modules.
This should help. Can't garuntee, but I have 9 computers running over a
cable modem and we play starcraft and Quake regularly here. Hope this
helps.

The first game I tried was tribes and it worked great. Then delta
force and quake, neither connected. then quake2 and one other, forget
which and they didn't work either. IF I had not tried tribes I would
have thought it was something I did wrong on setup. I was told that
you have to define ports for games but I have no idea how since the
games are not looking for a specific port, at least with netstat -M
they are looking for ( or getting assisgned ) different ports each
time.

Is IP masquerading supported by the default kernel that gets installed
with RedHat 6.0? Or do I have to futz with loadable modules, etc? Can
someone direct me to a well written recipie for this?

I'd like to do same as Sparks -- IP masq plus redirecting ports for
game playing on a PC behind the firewall.

Thanks
