How to Set Up a Router and a Firewall for Online Hunting in DH2004
To Host
If you have a router, you will need to put the PC that you are using to host your hunt into the DMZ of the router. Depending on the router, you have to view the help files for the router to know how to do this. Putting your PC into the DMZ will make your computer exposed to the internet as if the router wasn’t there. You will have no hardware firewall protecting you at this time. If you also run a software firewall like Norton, you will need to put the IP’s of those that will be joining your hunt into safe zones. You will also have to configure the firewall to permit all for DH2004.exe, and Aphex.exe (Gamespy). After doing the above you should be able to host an MP game.
