enjoy your chistmas, and you don't have to come back after the holidays, we'll be fine without you.

Has a gamer, I hope ipv6 come sooon. Singleplayer videogames are a historic weird thing. Since the begin of humanity most games has ben cooperative or competitive. But tryiing to host a videogame (serving the game) from behind a crappy router, using NAT, is not fun. It is even more crappy because hardware manufactures produce these horrible interfaces in these routers ( my favorte pet-peeve is limit to forward 6 ports). I suppose nobody in this mail list will have any problem in configuring one of these things. But for 99.999% of the gamers, even the concepts are unknowm. Now that gaming is mainstream, and more than 500 millions persons play games daily, more and more people his exposed to the crappyness of crappy NAT configure dialogs on crappy routers. Please made the pain stop. I am looking forward for a day where you would be able to avoid NAT, and share your ip with your teammates, to have a pain-free experience. So gamers don't have to study sites like this one: http://portforward.com/ -- -- ℱin del ℳensaje.
