RW from behind firewall/router...

Post by Gator »

Does anybody here use RW from multiple machines behind a firewall/router?

My wife and I can both connect to the RW server, but only the first-to-connect can transmit. Both can hear others on the channel ... i think...

I also use it just fine behind a firewall ... the problem is 2 machines behind a router using it at the same time...

Nooooooo....they are participating in a game with more than just the two of them.

I am not sure if it can work since the port redirects inbound are going to go to one pc. You have to have a REAL firewall for something like this to work properly - meaning probably commercial software. :( Not sure iof any of the home firewalls can handle this.
