I wan to set up a gaming server

[steevo]

I originally tried this in the networking forum and go zilch replies. Any input would be appreciated.

OK, here's the deal.

I want to host a dedicated server for one of my fave games. Wolfenstien enemy territory.

The machine i want to run it on is on my home network. It gets internet access through a server i have running Windows 2000 server edition. This server shares it's ADSL (not a static IP address) connection via the Routing and remote access service and i have DHCP and DNS running on it. This machine has zone alarm pro as it's firewall (i don't have a router)

So, i guess what i'm trying to say is. Does the game need to be running on the firewall server or will any possible user"see through" my firewall server onto the dedicated game server.

Did that make sense? Probably not.:)

first off, setting up a server on an ADSL line is going to be **** unless you only allow like 4 - 6 people on the server... get a faster internet connection before considering setting up a server

My original question is still relevant though.

Just setup port forwarding on the firewall for the ports that the game uses and point it to your internal IP of the server. Thats what I do..works fine.
