I have a computer that i want to use as a decicated server. It is on the network, it is not the server nor does it have the direct connection to the internet(cable). I wish to set it up, so that it stays as a client within the network and as a decicated server so that friends can join thro the internet. Any ideas?

Set up a port-forward on your gateway

how do i do that?

all so im using sygate4 if that helps

all so im using sygate4 if that helps

hrm
nats thinks in linux?

ah...so what about in winME then

i have never successfully got it to work cause you gotta forward the port on dedicated to that computer so you would need to pick a port that you didn't normally use
plus your ain't gonna be able to get many ppl on it cause you prolly capped on cable (4 people MAX)

LoL a WinME server?! That's the funniest thing I've ever heard! (not really but u get the picture).

the words server and winme shouldn't be used in the same sentence

bah its only for home use 3 puters
only 3-4 ppl anyway

how do i forward on port?

go to sygate
click help
help topics
search for it

did a sreach for it, and nothing that helps :(

Why even use sygate at all? Why not just ICS? or even better, win2k with NAT, then its really easy to do anything like this!

Hrmm... I wasn't much help was I.

hehe, not really but ill take it under adivsement!

winroute is the only one i know of on win9x systems to do port forwarding.

however you sound like you a probably too stupid to work it out

bah, tell me and we will see!

If I understand properly, you want two things, Wingate and HLProxy - I haven't personally got it working but it's supposed to ;p

i was trying to help a fried do this..

search the internet for sites - there are some out there that have heaps of info..

i would post link but i dunno where it was and am too lazy to look, sorry ;)

This is what you're probably referring to: http://www.hansenonline.net/HalfLife/networking.html. Great stuff, check out the Networking page first then the proxy info.

ok cool, so what about on the quake3 decicated server....do i set it to LAN or Internet??

cool it works......now..... what sort of setting can use to make it better/faster??

none of this windows s***
