: hmmm, it's a Virtual Private Network ... :)
Just wondering why you can't just play normally now that Marathon has TCP/IP support (obviously you need a decent connection for a decent game)?
: It simulates a LAN between two remote computer via the Internet, using port
: 1723. There are two standards, PPTP and IPsec. Windows 2000 and XP can be
: made to be VPN server in a few clics (both standards supported), and any
: windows machine can be made to connect to them easily trought a
: "dial-up look-like" interface. Only at the place of a phone
: number, it's an IP.
: There must be a way to do it with macs too, but since I don't own any, I
: can't check.
: The only litle problem I think of, is that the VPN server might *have* to be
: the game server too. Because VPN isn't meant to provide full access in
: both way (it is made for employee to connect on their work's network).
: Maybe someone can confirm/deny this?
