#5 Firewall support broken
From the reports I have heard, the implemented
Firewall/NAT device bypassing (IP spoofing) which
I have implemented into OpenAG does not seem
to work.
This would be something great for someone to
investigate who has this type of setup, since I am
currently stuck behind several firewalls and a
PPPoE connection.

I have had seeming reports from some of this
working... but I am not sure.
Here is part of the original complaint:
I've used it [my router] successfully with LimeWire and
MacPheX on the gnutella network, and XNap on
napster clones. The ony thing between me and the
rest of the world is the router.

I'd be happy to contribute as I have a basic configuration :
A Win98 machine receives the PPPoE connection, and the WinGate
engine acts as the firewall/proxy. It's directly connected to my Mac
(running os 10.1.4)
And I cannot connect with OpenAG. (LimeWire, for example, works fine)
Here is the error:
----
2002-05-27 14:12:56.094 OpenAG X[365] I recieved an unhandled error
while attempting a connection to the redirection server: 64.245.58.81, I
am reseting connection and trying again.
The error generated was: 60 which means: Operation timed out

Which port should I open ?
Is there anything I should test ?

The setup which should "theoretically" work, is the following:
A router (NAT device) set up to forward ports 41000-42000 to the
computer running OpenAG.
OpenAG running, with an IP specified to be THE EXTERNAL IP of the
NAT device. Specified in the Preferences Pane, or preferences file
(command line -- only 1.2 dev-test or later).
That's all.
For kicks you could also forward port 21 to the computer runing
OpenAG/OpenAG X.
If someone could take a TCPDump (inside and outside the NAT device)
to tell me if things are actually getting redirected correctly... or if
someone could report a success story... that would be nice.
