Playing halflife over shared cable connection.

I have a DLink DI704 cable router. The only way that I can play games over this is one computer at a time. I have to set each computer as DMZ host, which means I can only use one computer at a time. I have 3 computers and would like to play with them all at the same time. Is there anyway a proxy without this cable router, or maybe another cable router would work with all three computers at the same time. Ps. two machines with win 98se, one with ME. I also have seperate lan but not hooked up. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Multiplayer games and NAT don't play well together. Your router is running NAT which masks your front the internet. You wouldn't need to run the computer as a DMZ, just forward the necessary ports to it to play the game. You might be able to make the router just a gateway when you want to play games instead of running NAT if it is able to but I am not familiar with setting up that router.

Microsoft ISA Server? Isn't that slow? Don't they have a PCI Server or AGP Server? What about USB or even Fibre Server?


SCSI server???? Wondered about that myself. ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the response. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">I do know now that I can probably use virtual server mapping to get the game to work, but the manual is not very specific on what port numbers are ,and where to get them. I am at a loss on how to find port numbers, or even what they are. Any more help would be great. Thanks
