So your attempting to forward an internal port to an external box. Hmmm, I can't say that this could actually work behind NAT. In all reality, many applications require use of specific application module in order to work with NAT. I don't know of one available for the PS2, but this would be your best bet in your situation. > You are absolutely correct -- I am "plowing new ground" here, because > there is very limited information on exactly how this service works. > From all the documentation I found on the web (almost all from > end-users), they are all using linksys routers (or similar devices), > and their end-all answer is to "put it on the DMZ".

The help is no problem, I wish I knew more about this service so I could be more help. Google may be the best help for information at this time since I'm sure others have run into this.... and hopefully found a fix. > Looking at your tcpdump output, Lynn's earlier reference to UDP port > 4 was simply a slip of the tongue (or, more apt, the fingers).
