So after like 2 and a half hours of trying to get two computers behind one router to connect to the same game that uses DirectX outside of the router, I’ve decided that it’s near impossible. Maybe it’ll work with a VPN or a VLAN…I don’t know, but it’s freakin’ obnoxious. This is just another one of the myriad of reasons that Microsoft sucks donkey. Why does it always have to use exactly all of ports 2300 through 2400 to connect to a game? I don’t get it. You should be able to specify which ports you want DirectX to use. Microsoft should change that crap. If anyone from Microsoft reads this, Please fix DirectX so it doesn’t blow goats!! You guys are smart, you should be able to make DirectX work through NAT just fine…idiots…

It depends on what you’re trying to do. You may not need a VPN. Consider using Remote Desktop Services. That may accomplish everything you need, and it’s quite a bit easier than setting up a VPN.

You company may already have a VPN. I would talk to your IT people first before installing anything. Typically you can’t just install a VPN client on a remote computer and access a corporate network.
