Setting up a VPN

[w1z4rd911]

Howzit,

I don't know if this thread has up b4, coz I can't find it. But my bro and I want to set up a VPN for ourselves but I haven't got a clue how to do this. We wanna play games with an over Internet Network. I have gone through countless how to guides on the Net but we are still struggling to get a connection. Even machines on a LAN at home don't want to connect.


Thanks Guys

hi wizard, maybe I can help or someone else can . but i think we'd all need a little more info, like:

1.what game is this ?
2.does it have port settings ?
3.which firewall are you using ?

an00bis here wants to figure out if you really need a vpn. I take it thought that bot of you are in diffirent houses and different locations. If so you either need to make use of a gaming server on the internet or get a proxy firewall with vpn capabilities and set it up properly. As your ip address will constantly change you will also need something like http://www.no-ip.com.

try team viewer. It can be setup to make a VPN

Or use Hamachi - VERY easy to use

Ok, Howzit guys,

My vrother, father and myself live at different locations with each person running dsl 384 etc. I tried the no-ip route with registering a server. For some reason we cannot even connect to that server. I have setup my winxp to take on incoming connections etc, and run the no-ip client at the same time on the howto guide that is linked from no-ip.com.
The reason we want to do this is for music sharing picture sharing and gaming (battlefield doesn't want to see hamachi for some crazy reason, and overlord as well) it is just my desktop that runs xp but the other machines all run vista x32 and business. No my brother tries to connect via the windows setup, and through the diagnostic tool in Vista he can pickup my physical ip and detect the machine and says that the machine is online. I have a mega 105wr dsl modem and router, we have all opened the exceptions for ip-filtering in the modems as well as the lan options and allowed direct connections, vpn connections etc. (Ihave even tried manual port forwarding) but still no connection is established. unfortunately the fixed server i wanted to put in place no longer wants to show any life will not be running. At my previous company my BIS manager had set up the company VPN to run from his desktop which doubled up as an email server - hence why I want to try and replicate this, and also the lag from hamachi even after doing and edit on the hamachi-overide.ini to open full bandwidth comes in to hamper game play or even end the game connection. Most evenings we have the problem of not even being able to see the other machines on hamachi and recently can't get the Ping to drop below 1000ms. when performing a direct ping from a terminal I am able to get a ping average of about 32ms.

please bear with me on the time on my reply posts as I have just started a new job as a lecturer at a colledge for chef's so my times are a bit messed at the moment as I am now teaching night classes as well.
