327451 2005-02-22 20:09:00 I have recently bought a Dick Smith ADSL Ethernet Router XH 1169. You can view it on the DSE site.

I run Virtual Skipper 3 and sail in multiplayer mode on the internet. The problem I'm having is that I can't host games. When I try to, a message in VSK3 comes up saying that I'm on a private network and my nats isn't configured properly and no one can join. I have tried configureing it but with no joy. I have try setting up the virtual server with no joy. I run Zonealarm Pro and have configured that. I think the problem is that I'm not sure what ports I should open up.

Thanks for anyones help.

Trevor

PS I have asked DSE and they seem pretty vague on the subject.

327453 2005-02-22 22:24:00 As Murray suggests, you need to port forward the ports required by the game to your computer's internal IP address. You can find information on what ports need to be forwarded here (www.suderman.com). Remember to do both UDP and TCP protocols. Jen (38)

I have gone through the setup on that link and still no joy.
