Hell no I ain't letting my bros on my computer
They need to be able to share their own games with their friends perioid. I think I'm finally coming to the conclusion of making a hybrid network with UPnP and manual port forwardings for things that doesn't work with UPnP. I've been doing a lot of researching on NAT traversal techniques and UPnP seems to be the most suited... pure port forwarding would also be nice but It would require a long list of rules
Then again I still got the problem that if I'm to host ftp servers with many different pcs how will they translate? I mean ain't ftp hosted on port 21? with two computers hosting same time... I wonder how it will work out... don't think it will be very successful
The more I research networking the more incomplete it seems... Simply using a global ip would be nice but then again I wouldn't be able to use the lan... or I could... but what about the other 7 computers?
I don't have that many global addresses
If I had, then this would be easy.
