NOTE: All on-line games that I know of require that the internal computer
have a publicly accessible IP address, which means that publishing is
useless.
You are highly advised that if you must do this, you should go with a
SonicWALL firewall in Standard mode.
As THOR said, (and with a name like that, I would listen,) on-line games are
a security risk!
