  further inspection …....... the subnets were all wrong also so the DHCP wasnt able to assign IP's to OPT1 was on another network instead of just another subnet, I modified it to.... network 192.168.1.0/25 LAN 192.168.1.1/25 subnet host OPT1 192.168.1.128/25 subnet host subnet mask: 255.255.255.128 which mean they are on different subnets but same network now. tested xbox live and everything is brill!!!  ;D thank again for the input without it I wouldn't have been looking in the right areas ;)

  I whited out the private IP addresses, "they'' say its bad practice to post your network addresses although hiding private addresses is being very paranoid but I do as others better educated than I tell me. Pic 1: I wrote rules to allow UPnP only on my gaming console IPs so that other devices on that interface cant use UPnP.  You could set up one rule for your entire subnet if you like but that wasnt what I wanted. Pic 2: I wrote rules to use static ports on the XBOX, PS3, Wii, and BluRay which are all on my DMZ interface so those look duplicated but each IP is different.  The rest of the DMZ network has a rule to not use static ports as well as the LAN and OVPN. I pasted those numbers on the pics in this post so you normally wouldnt see a space between the IP addresses and the mask for example 10.99.99.0/28, 10.99.99.2/32, etc.

  Thanks for the quick reply! Well I should clarify that I have a static mapping set in the DHCP server.  It was my understanding from the other guides that you need to do that to set outbound static mapping. However I did make it outside the DHCP pool. (so for example I use a 10.10.10/24 I allow .5 - .240 for the actual Pool).  If that isn't correct, I can change it easily, however it does work for my xbox360 I have hit clear to try and restart to see if that helps, but it doesn't.  Any thoughts?

  Well, I have found out what the problem might be. http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/9380 The error I am getting (sv_lan is 0…) could be due to a bug. If I could get another person to test this out that would make me feel better. Edit: Also, make sure that you have your sv_region set to anything but -1, or the server will not show up on the master list!

  Are you really certain, that the server was actually running on 27017. I think i remember something that if you misswrite something in the config file, the server jsut starts with the default value (which would be in this case 27015).

  I will check it out, thanks The main reason I would like to do this is as i said old games that do not support IP Most new Lan based games will not let you play as a lan setup if your ip address is on a differant range then the server. Most old Lan based games do not even have support for IP and in my experance most VPNs do not allow all ethernet traffic To give you an example other then gaming With a vpn if you connect to a network with a shared drive in windows the vpn client can not see what computer has the shard drive under the network list becouse that data is not passed. Here is the router Package i used http://www.mikrotik.com/testdocs/ros/2.9/interface/eoip.php

  Ok, to answer my own question. Using static ports with AON causes the rejects.  Setup AON without static ports and I get regular Blocks. UPnP says its allowing in on port 3074 like Stu/d stated above but its not making it through the firewall for some odd reason, although states shows me a bunch of connections on port 3074. Setting up a port forward for 3074 resolves all this but then whats the point of UPnP then?

  I wonder if that could that have something to do with the Static Ports option in the NAT? You should probably keep static ports on. Anyway I'm glad everything worked out OK for you! ;D It sounds like the packets are not being properly sent to the XBox Live server (as it doesn't respond); since the problem doesn't appear to be the destination port, there must be some kind of interruption between the jump from LAN to WAN.  Does that logic sound right to you? I suppose it doesn't matter now but… I think what was happening is that the Xbox Live server was responding to requests by Xbox 2, only the packets were being directed to Xbox 1 since it was assigned port 3074 by uPnP/pfsense.

  Solved Steps: 1. NAT >>AON  manually created  entries for all networks. ie  WAN 192.168.X.X /24 source   Static Port (Unchecked)    2. The entry for Xbox I selected  static port. The other entries were left unchecked 3.  Nat >> Port Forward the standard set      A. WAN UDP External Port 88     NAT IP (192.168.X.X)  Local Port  88      B. Wan TCP/UDp External Port 3074    NAT IP (192.168.X.X) Local Port 3074 4. UPnP is off Results: XboxLive connection went from Strict to Open.

  I dont think it's enough to just block the ports BitTorrent uses, because almost every client randomizes it's ports. Why dont ou try to configure the traffic-shaper? Since you only want to avoid that everything gets slowed down when something torrents, and not block it alltogether this might be the solution. Also i think it wont be enough just to allow the ports 3074 and 88 for Xbox live. After the first client connected these ports are used and the next client will use different ports. Maybe you could google/tcpdump and look what the second/third client uses.

  As far as I know it, UPnP won't do the static port on outbound connections so you still have to set up that on AoN page.

  Holy crap, i got it!!! finally. When i realized the IRC port was the problem, i also realized that i had imspector proxying IRC. I disabled just the IRC portion for imspector, restarted the service, and viola. It now works just fine, even after i turned off advanced outbound nat and all port forwards. So, lesson learned. CNC3 uses frickin IRC. wireshark is my best friend. No one has replied to this thread, but i figured i would post the solution just in case anyone else has the same problem.

  I didn't mean you're wrong You're correct Start from the day using pfsense I can't even go further like successfully login smoothly So don't even need to talk about hosting a game ( In garena, it's not necessary to do port forward if you want to host a game ) ( I tried before when i was still using cheap router ) About the pictures that i shown Although i can login that sometimes But i can do nothing also eventhough it was logged in Because it will show me connection to server failed when i tried to join a room So, it's useless for me to login garena also Can't play, so, what's the point in logging in? I'm just wondering why surfing net is ok with pfsense MSN, YM, also able But why all the games not working as before I tried the static port already, not working also ???

  The shaper seems to be working very well now!  UPnP is working great as well.  I've attached a screenshot of what my uPnP status page looks like.  I don't think there are too many routers out there that can handle this kind of usage.  Thank you PFsense devs for making the ultimate gaming router / firewall!

  Hmm, very odd that you are having problems. I've all my equipment on DHCP, and have created static DHCP entries for them. Of course DNS is pointing to the firewall, as well as Default Gateway. Then I've enabled UPnP on the Firewall, X-box360 and PS3. The firewall has UPnP forbidden for everything, except the X-Box360 and PS3's IP addresses. This works without any sort of problems. They get the best NAT possible both, I see ports open and close according to the different games and states the machines are in. Here at work I've tried as well, and here I see problems, but my guess is that it has something to do with some of the ancient switches we have here :-(

  Ya they ended up on the right track there…but you can use a switch....in this case here he had a 2950...He could have had anything setup on that switch, even without him knowing.  who knows, whoever had the switch may have had 2 different Vlans or even some ACL's (access control lists, basically a manual firewall for a switch of that type) on it...It could have been several different issues.  I didn't see this post earlier, I probably could have helped.  Nonetheless it should have worked, my bet was a configuration error on the cisco switch.  That's an enterprise class switch and not some soho linksys or dlink type.  It has much more things you can configure than a home or office router/switch.

  Please do not post the same in multiple forums. Can you show a screenshot of your rules? Did you read the notes next to the schedules? When working with pfSense based schedules, the logic is a bit different from the normal pfSense rules. For example, the rules are evaluated from top to bottom. If you have a pass rule and the rule is outside of the schedule, the traffic will be BLOCKED regardless of pass rules that occur after this rule. In these cases you will want to change the pass rule to a block style rule to get the needed functionality.

  Look in diagnostics -> states.  The source port will match the destination port if static port is working.  Also do not forget to clear your states after making the static port changes.

  thanks, I got the information i needed pretty quick when looking at: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Static_Port. I just did what the above said, added a rule for all of my subnet to use only one wan when using the range of ports this game uses and walah im up and running. This firewall is great… I have a few more issues to work out but functionality is working great.

  Thanks :) I realise it's a problem that often comes up! Just in case anyone reads this post for help, basically pfSense defaults to an 'Automatic outbound NAT rule generation' for added security. This can cause problems with incoming connections (UPnP sorts out the out going). To turn this off select 'Manual Outbound NAT rule generation' then change the automatically generated rule to 'Static Port' = YES. Repeat for any other subnets if necessary.
