help needed for hosting an internet game

Hi,

I need help. I'm not 100% sure this is the exact right place, but I guess this is the biggest chance to get the right help.

I want to host a c3c game over internet, but it seems I have firewall problems. I can't get my finger behind it .

I have a LINUX (SuSe 8.1) server here at home with a properly working dhcp feature. This way, several other Window PCs have a properly working internet connection. With these Windows Machines, I can easily join internet multiplayer C3C games, yet, if I set up a host, nobody can see it.

So, I did change some settings on my server:

In the YAST Control Center | Security and Users | Firewall, I chose Reconfigure firewall settings.
Here it sais (by standard) my external interface = PPP0 (while I expected eth0, but is explains in a warning window:
DSL with PPP uses PPP0 as the external interface. Your ethernet interface is not the external interface in this case.

When clicking next, I did open extra ports at the 'Additional Servives':
13139 2302:2400 27900 28900 29900 29901 3783 6073 6500 6667

But, this didn't help!



Cheers,
Bas Stapel
