Sidewinder Game Voice Behind Firewall

Sidewinder Game Voice Behind Firewall

Post by C. Sco » Sat, 13 Jan 2001 08:39:05



Can anyone tell me how to 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)
for use with the MS Sidewinder Game Voice?

My firewall is running Caldera eDesktop.  The computer that I am attempting
to use the Game Voice on is running Windows 98SE.  

Thanks

Chase

Hi, I had the same problem with BattleCom which uses the same ports.
The main problem is that these programs try to establish a connection to
the client. So its not enough to open the ports in your firewall, but you
also have to route the incoming packages through your firewall to your
computer that is running GameVoice.

I think it is possible whith ipchains using the ipfwadmin (or whatever it
is called) tool.
I upgraded my firewall to iptables, and then it was really easy.
You can find examples for iptables rules at the gShield site.

1. Opening Ports for Sidewinder Game Voice

Can anyone tell me how to 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)
for use with the MS Sidewinder Game Voice.

I did manage to open port 47624 using the following in my rc.local file:

ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 12.162.118.112 47624 -R 192.168.1.2 47624

but this will not, for some reason, allow me to open 2300-2400 tcp or udp.

Thanks for any help!
