DirectX

I am trying to run DirectX games (Both server and client) but cannot seem to get the port forwarding correct. I've tried DNAT and SNAT as well as packet filtering. Has anyone had any success with this?

Port 2300-2400 -> 10.10.10.2 port 2300 tcp/udp
Port 47624 -> 10.10.10.2 port 47624 tcp

Remember that you have to create DNAT + Rules.
Works great...tested with Rally Masters!

Could you post your rules and DNAT set up for this? I forwarded the ports in my rules as per Microsoft TechNet and added in the DNAT in to my computer should I add SNAT out?

Using DirectX 7 method:
Connection Ports for Client Configuration Ports for Host Configuration
Initial TCP Connection 47624 Outbound 47624 Inbound
Subsequent TCP Inbound 2300-2400 2300-2400
Subsequent TCP Outbound 2300-2400 2300-2400
Subsequent UDP Inbound 2300-2400 2300-2400
Subsequent UDP Outbound 2300-2400 2300-2400
-------------------------------------------------
Using DirectX 8 method:
Connection Ports for Client Configuration Ports for Host Configuration
Initial UDP Connection 6073 Outbound 6073 Inbound
Subsequent UDP Inbound 2302-2400 2302-2400
Subsequent UDP Outbound 2302-2400 2302-2400
-------------------------------------------------

Maybe , if you dont have already...make a rule for test purposes.
(insidenetwork ->any ->any ->allow)

If it still dont works look at the Packetfilterlivelog...maybe you see a hint there.

Sorry...

no you dont need SNAT.
Just Masquerading for your intern network on the external interface.

Here's what I did

DirectX7tcp47624 tcp 1024:65535 47624
DirectX8udp6073 udp 1024:65535 6073
DirectX_2300-2400 tcp/udp 1024:65535 2300:2400

then I made these all part of a service group called DirectX

eth0_Network__ { DirectX8 } Any Allow
Any { DirectX8 } eth0_Network__ Allow

I still get inbound UDP on port 2301 droped
