Hi everyone.
I have a little problem.
I have just set a PPTP server in a mikrotik machine. This mikrotik its at the same time connected to a wireless router ( via cable ) that distribute signal to my entire house.
On the other hand, I have an atheros based PCI card ( on the same mikrotik ) that i use to make a link whit a friend that is about 900 meters far away. In their side, my friend uses a linksys wireless router (a WRT54G version 4 ) that also uses to dial a PPPoE connection over an ADSL Modem… ( we are using a TrevorMarshall and a Biquad to make the link )
the ports 1723 (VPN), 80 (WEB), 21 and 23 ( Telnet, SSH ) are already mapped to my mikrotik in the linksys router of my friend ( wich is the one that provides us the internet ) so i can access from a WAN Ip from anywhere ( We have static internet IP )
Now this is the thing…
I get into my pptp server …
I can make ping to all the computers on my network…
I can reach all the shared resources, apache web server, mysql, etc, etc..
But for some reason, when we make a LAN game ( like Warcraft ).. we can´t see the games of each other… in other words.. when i make a multiplayer game, my friends cannot see the game o their screens.
Its not the version of the game, because we always play on my house and works fine..
I think that could be a problem on the port mapping. Maybe there is a port that i need to forward.
Still, i think its very strange because the PPTP its a TCP/IP based connection and when a user get into the server he is already part of the LAN, no matter if he is here or in China..
Can somebody help me whit this ??
Did i miss something…
Best regards..
