Server behind a NAT router

[kharick]

Can you please help me setup a server behind a NAT router? DO I really need that firedaemon program teh FAQ says? I can get a server running and ppl on my LAN can join the server but noone can join using my WAN IP.
I tried making a static maping of udp prot 8767 from my outside address to my inside addy and that didnt work, tried to setup my pc in my dmz and that didnt work... so any suggestions?

Or does it even work at all?

forwaring port 8767 should work, i had it runnning on my desktop some time before switching to linux.

i guess you do someting wrong.. read your routers manual again and you should be able to fix it.

search for "firewall AND router AND NAT" and you will find what you seek.
also include your router name or use google.

when i seeked i found this:

those were helpfull for me, but okey . here we go again

if you use linux as firewall (i doubt it) you have to do this:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d outsideIP --dport 8767 -j DNAT --to <insideIP>: 8767

i don't know it for your router, but goto an option "NAT" or "port forwarding" or whatever it's called on your router setup page and forward all ports from your port 8767 to "<insideIP>:8767"
