Re: Firewall problem
Should have stated at the outset that I am on a Mac.
As far as IP address goes. . . I know the IP address of the modem (but I assume this is not what you are talking about). I can also see several Mac "addresses" for my machine (a different one for the firewire, ethernet, and airport), but I am not sure which (if any) of these to use. They don't look like IP addresses.
I have tried to disable the NAT (network address translation), and to set my machine (at least on a temporary basis) as a NAT passthough device using the aforementioned Mac addresses. Both to no avail.
As for port forwarding. . . . am I understanding you correctly that I am supposed to set my machine to the same port as the host computer is using (and change the port setting on a game by game basis)? Sure seems cumbersome.
It is getting late, so I am going to have to call it a night. Will try to play around with the port triggers tomorrow.
Thanks for getting me started.
