Hi Shawn,

Don't you love online games and the willy-nilly ways they deal with protocols? 
I wish I were a programmer, or had a scintilla of understanding of Internet 
programming, so that I could understand why they don't make online applications 
more firewall friendly. I assume that it would be very, VERY difficult to make 
online games work using a simple protocol that only requires a single socket 
over which all communications can travel?

Tom

I poked around a bit and it looks like incoming port ranges differ between
games.  Some use TCP, some use UDP, some pick a random port in a specified
range, some use a single port.  Looks like you just have to know what your
game is doing.

Well, of course you need to know exactly how communication flows between
internet and your ps2 (primary connection, secondary connections, ports ...)
and create protocol definitions and rules to allow this communication.
