Diablo II ipchains rules

[Kid98]

I did a search and found the following concerning Diablo II ipchains rulesets:
>>Not too tough to get D2 working through ipchains.

Here are the two lines I added and it worked.

/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm autofw -A -v -r tcp 4000 4000 -c tcp 4000
and
/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm autofw -A -v -r udp 4000 4000 -c tcp 4000

Hope this helps anyone that has this problem.

My question is: will this allow me to only connect to outside internet hosted games or will it allow me to serve a game and have my friends join it on my win box behind my linux dsl/firewall box (yes I know linux can do much more but this was project one) I want to host q2 and D2 games and be able to have my friends connect. Can anyone answer this or make a better suggestion?

TIA

One way to find out is to tail -f /var/log/messages with your firewall up, and have them attempt to connect and you will see them if they get DENIED at your firewall.. then look at it and write down the ports and then allow those ports specifically :} btw, I added your tip to my page.. if you wanna check it out it's http://www.fandelem.com/nhf-5.html#diablo2

Please be sure to give Taylor credit for the ipchains rulesets for Diablo II. Also I have not yet tried this out so perhaps it is premature to post it on your page unless you have tried it out.

thanks,
