Re: [Gc-linux-devel] Using PSOload

[Shaun J. <sja...@gm...>]

I read in sdload/readme.txt that PSO3 wouldn't connect to internal IPs
like 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x. So, I'm trying to go through my
router's external IP and forwarding the PSO ports to my internal Linux
box.

The more I look into it though, the more it looks like PSO3 (US)
doesn't work with psoload 2.0. For one thing psoload 2.0 is listening
on ports TCP/9000-9003, 9100, 9200, and 9201, whereas the PSO3 (US) is
attempting to connect to port TCP/9103.

There's a copy of PSO1&2 in the used bin of my local Electronic
Boutique, but I'm afraid it will suffer the same problem.

Cheers,
Shaun
