Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to play AOE 2 (Conquerors) through a NAT firewall? I have a Linksys BEFSX41 Router/Switch. I Hosted a game on PC1 and connected to the game through the switch from PC 2 on my LAN. Then I successfully opened it up to allow an AOE connection from the Net through to the hosting PC. However, when the Net PC connected and I clicked on "start game" a message popped up to say that the PC on connection 3 (or something to that effect) could not connect to the game as NAT support wasn't enabled in AOE yet, and I discovered that PC2 on the LAN had dropped out.

Any ideas anyone? Can't I host a multiplayer game from behind a NAT firewall/router with multiple PCs behind the firewall/router?

Many thanks,

Roger.

I also have a question regarding conquerors. When I host an internet game, and choose to start it, the game crashes, and i am brought to desktop.

You could try asking a question yourself then Bill, instead of hijacking mine!
