Hiya Ade, lol, no...I 'do' know what ports to use (I just meant I didn't know 'how' to configure ports etc for the Firewall Client (thought I think its somewhere in the ISA Management console). The ports required for the particular game I'm trying to get running (Medal of Honor: Allied Assault) are all UDP (apparently): 12201, 12202, 12203, 12204, 12210 and 12300. I won't be using gamespy at all as I simply want to host a direct IP game (on my gaming rig) across the internet (allow friends to connect) so don't need all the convoluted ports for that :) I will try the Firewall Client tonight....tbh - I'd just about given up getting 'hosted' games to work with ISA, but will try this out. Alternatively, I was wondering if I could somehow use one of my spare public IPs that I have bound to the external NIC of my ISA box? Maybe I could 'assign' this to the internal LAN IP of my gaming rig and 'allow all' traffic through? ISA is a superb product, but for apps that use non-standard ports, it's a pain in the neck - lol Oooh, forgot: I have actually tried Wireshark (Ethereal) the other day, but it seemed to simply report the protocols (namely UDP 12300) that I mentioned above. However, I will try it again and inspect the traffic more closely to see if other ports are requested. Thanks for your continued help, mate, I appreciate it. Edit: Just checked those links you sent me, every site you got to tells you a different tale with regards to what ports are required any given game....mad! ras
