Hi Jimmie,

What do you mean by "Transparent"?

so that i can start a game server or
recieve files over Icq
on my computer(s) inside the gateway

Hi Jimmie,

Your looking for port mapping, I believe.

First you are going to have to find out what ports and which protocol they use for the application (game or ICQ, etc.) Once you have this information open Routing and Remote Access and expand IP Routing. Then click Network Address Translation (NAT) under IP Routing to highlight and then right-click and choose Properties. Click the Translation Tab and then click the Applications button. Click the Add button from there and you will see the configuration area for the port mappings.

Check out the following page for some helpful info: http://www.practicallynetworked.com/support/gaming_help.htm

the following for ICQ comes from there:
"In ICQ under "Preferences & security", "Preferences" and Connections, click on "I am behind a firewall or proxy" then click on "Firewall Settings". Then select "I don't have a SOCKS Proxy server on my firewall" or "I am using another Proxy server". Click Next. Click "Use the following TCP listen ports for incoming event" and set the TCP ports for 20000 to 20019 for the first user, 20020 to 20039 for the second user, 20040 to 20059 for the third user, etc.

OUT UDP 4000
IN TCP 20000 20019 for one user
OR
IN TCP 20000 20039 for two users
OR
IN TCP 20000 20059 for three users, etc."

You will have to also configure the ports needed for your games.

Hope this helps...have a great holiday.
