Possible to use router-modem?

Recommended Posts

Hiya,

Just wanted to know for sure, before I spend me 299 Euro on a new modem-router. I got 2 computers, and wanna use them for setting up a dedicated server, and play with my other computer. Can this be done with a router-modem?

Thx

Yes, it should work. However, you'll probably have to do some work on the NAT/PAT (Network Address Translation/Port Address Translation) configuration to make sure that incoming packets looking for the server are routed to the proper box.

You would then use your external IP address to host games on your OFP server, and connect to the server's internal IP address from the second computer behind the router.

Mxstream Multi-PC PSTN modem    The url is in dutch though  , but the nice thing is that it also allows to connect game consoles to it wink.gif

My native tongue is German, so I can read about 90% of what is on that page. smile.gif

I was hoping that they had more information about the firewall that is built into the router, but the technical FAQ doesn't get into that. Oh well...
