Ok , I run a PfSense router ( v1.2 rc4).
I have set my main rig as a static IP , and opened both a) the required incoming ports and , b) the outgoing ports (outgoing PAT is essentially disabled.) , for Modern Warfare 2 to run correctly.
It works perfectly , MW2 reports NAT as open.Everything is peachy.
The problem arose when my friend came over with his rig.
I set him with a static IP.This functions correctly.
When I give him the exact same ruleset I use for the main rig (the IP is different of course) it won't work.MW2 reports the NAT as 'strict'.....now this is only an issue because we can't seem to play on the same party.It won't let us , we both need to be 'open'.
I've checked the NAT/firewall rulesets several times.They seem to be correct, it should work.I know I can open ports on his computer , his uTorrent works perfectly...I have no idea why MW2 won't work.
Am I missing something ?
Any Ideas ?
