- Settings in VSK3 network // configuration
server port = local port on which this computer is hosting, like 2351.
Client port = local port from which this computer joins, like 16001.
Use local address = no idea, can’t see any difference
(believe this to be a necessary setting when local port 2351 is not equal to publicised port 2351, eg. when already used for other purpose)
force server address = external IP (WAN) of your router, which is communicated to the Virtualskipper3 session server in Paris. Like 80.136.56.199.
Server port (public)= external port of router (communicated to the session server) that with port forwarding is routed to the local port of the computer that is hosting. Like 2351?
Joining computers are communicated the address of the host like 80.136.56.199 Port: 2351 from the session server. (Click on a race to join in the lobby on the vsk3 server.)
The joining computer reaches the router on the given address.
Now we can forward to the local host.
- Virtual server / port forwarding
public port = external port of the router, like 2351
protocol = TCP and UDP
private port = local port on which the to be reached computer is hosting, like 2351
private IP = local IP of the to be reached computer, like 192.168.2.101
the connection to IP: 80.136.56.199. Port: 2351 is now routed to the host computer IP: 192.168.2.101 port: 2351 All ready to host.
-Firewall / packet filters
possibly some rules must be added:
Normally adding a virtual host should already have accomplished something like this:
ALLOW
SOURCE: external interface (WAN, MAC ADDRES),
SOURCE IP: all (also WWW or 0.0.0.0)
TARGET: internal interface (LAN),
TARGET IP: the IP of the hosting computer, like 192.168.2.101
TARGET PORT: Port on which the hosting computer is offering the service, like 2351
PROTOCOL: UDP & TCP
When another local computer wants to join a public race out of the vsk3 lobby on a local host
Something must be added.
WARNING: BECAUSE OF SPOOFING THIS IS NOT WITHOUT RISK OF INTRUSION
proceed on your own risk
ALLOW
SOURCE: internal interface (LAN, MAC ADDRES)
SOURCE IP: local IP range (should include all local computers to be able to join) like 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.200, or the entire local network like 192.168.2.0
TARGET: external interface (WAN)
TARGET IP: all (better: only those that your router can get from your ISP) like 80.136.2.1 to 80.136.254.254 or all of the ISP network, like 80.136.0.0
TARGET PORT: all ports that are used by local computers to host (can be more than one) like 2300 – 2400.
PROTOCOL: UDP & TCP
Every computer in the local network should have a different IP, different server port and a different client port. Every computer that must be able to host must have an entry as virtual server in the router.
How to find your WAN IP
http://www.mywanip.com/
The WAN IP changes with every re-connect (dial-up), it then also must be changed in
VSK3 configuration // network // force server address.
The IP addresses of the local computers should be assigned permanently. If your router cannot be configured to do so, then set the IP manually in network configurations, properties of the TCP/IP protocol on the local computers that need to host.
The permanent IP should ofcourse be an available IP nr. Like 192.168.1.xxx (not 192.168.2.0 not 192.168.2.255)
Subnet mask normally should be 255.255.255.0
Gateway is the local IP of the router like 192.168.2.1.
Your ISP should provide a DNS (ask?); you could use any (also local) DNS from which you have the address.
A) A race must be publicised at vsk3 server.
B) Guests must be able to join.
1) Guests must be given the right adress.
Force serveradress (used when conections is through router) = public IP (WAN IP) + public port.
Default (used when directly connected to intenet) = local IP (= also public IP) + default port (2350)
2) Nothing may block (firewall?) guests trying to join.
Allow access on port(s) guests try to join on for protocols UDP and TCP. (Usually the port belonging to the public or external IP, depends on where the firewall is.. local firewall may block local port on Lokal network, firewall on router may block public port on public network, firewall at ISP may block too... etc. etc.)

What Firewall program are you using?
If you're not using the Windows firewall check that it isn't enabled, it might get enabled by installing SP2.
