Hi

Ive been using ventrilo for several years on my old computer directly
connected to the internet with port forwarding in the windows firewall and
no-ip.com dynamic DNS. Have alwasy worked flawlessly.

Now i have a new computer that i have connected directly to the internet and
the old computer connects through the new one via an extra network card. The
old computer uses windows XP and the new one windows vista. the old computer
is able to connect to internet but not use any server services or such what
so ever. the no-ip program reports full functioning. i can connect to the
ventrilo server via the internal network from my new computer. i have ports
open in both new and old computer for port 3784(windows firewall). server
applications work on the new computer.

So, what i want to do is make my ventrilo server on the old computer being
seen by people on the net = connect to kex.no-ip.biz like they always had.

Some years ago i did the exact same thing but only the gateway computer ran
windows 2003 server and not vista. so i suspect vista is the villain here, no
clue what to do anyway...

New computer(gateway) network settings:

Old computer(ventrilo server) settings:
IP: 192.168.0.4
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.5
Preferred DNS: 192.168.0.5

Please find me a sulotion

Hi

In order to pass incoming connections from the Vista computer to your
old one you have to set a NAT rule to do this. The old computer is on
a local network, so just opening a hole in the Vista computer firewall
is not enough.
Vista computer will receive incoming calls but it has to pass them to
the other computer over the local intranet.
You can even disable firewalls on the local connection NICs in order
to speed-up traffic. The external (Vista) firewall is enough to
protect both.
Go to System Tools - Windows Firewall with Advanced Options and see
if setting there can solve your problem.

Hi thx for replying.

How exactly do i set up a NAT rule?

Go to "Properties" for the outside connection.
In "Sharing" you have enabled the ICS (the intralan is able to see the
world).
Click "Settings" and you have some predefined redirections.
Click "Add" to setup a new rule.
Set a name for the service, the intranet address of your old computer,
the external and internal port number.
External port is the public port on which you receive connection
requests. Internal port is the actual port on the internal computer
(can be different).
That's it.
When someone is connecting to the gateway computer (Vista) to the
External port, the request is passed to the internal address (old
computer) to the internal port. Replies are automatically repapped
reverse.

Have fun

I'm wondering if this has fixed the issue.. I have the exact same issue
but I can't seem to fix.
