hey, i'm new to vpn but my boss and i are trying to set up a vpn server so that we can play games (group of 5) over lan. we get connected to the server which is a linux machine runnin vpn and we can ping each others ip address however when i host games (Rainbow Six 3: Raven Sheild) over the network they dont show up in the list. when we try running xp vpn the games show up fine and we are able to play. however xp vpn only allows one incoming connection and we need 5. how can we solve this problem? why can't the hosted games be seen on the lan server list? does it have anything to do with NAT? thanks alot in advance.
