Storage is cool
I just moved into a new house with a couple of freinds. We're in the same block of units with two other friends and have set up a p200 to act as a router so we can share a single cable connection between the five of us.
So far everything is going pretty well. Smoothwall lived up to its name providing a Linux based firewall/proxy/router/DHCP server/Web server with bout 20 min install time.
The net works fine, we can access the net, irc, join online games with no trouble. When it comes to hosting games, however, we come up against our firewall. We checked the game spy web page to see what ports needed to be opened and we thought we did it. But still noone can see our games from outside the firewall.
Any ideas would be apreciated. The next step is to build a game server on the other side of the firewall, we'd hope to avoid that if a cheaper option will work though.
