Subject: [gentoo-user] UDP traffic?
Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2006 13:26:32 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5bdc1c8b0608141326y59d4ef25v7de12108b404c6dd@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,
   I was setting up a game for my son using Cedega. The game
installed, and successfully went to the net to download and install
the updates. However, when we tried to get the Linux game to join a
LAN session with the same game running on some Windows machines I got
a message about not having a network provider. Since it can get to the
Internet to download the updates I know it's not a hard networking
failure. What is it?

   In the past I've heard that some of these games use UDP instead of
TCP. I was wondering where I configure a Gentoo machine to allow UDP
traffic, preferably only on my local network if possible so that I
could just see if this was the problem.

   Thanks for any pointers you can provide.

Cheers,
Mark
