need multiple xboxs to connect to a single game server
-
I have a weird pfsense,dayz,xbox problem. I have multiple xboxs in my home (4 in use) I have nat rules setup and rules to allow for our favorite xbox game Dayz. These rules allowed for us all to connect to the same Dayz server located at ip address 85.190.157.116 on port 11000. I swapped out 2 of the xboxes now none of the rules are working (maybe the game company patched something on their end) but I have not confirmed this. We havent played the game in about a month. I have the pcaps from both xboxes. It looks like the first xbox to connect can connect to the server just fine but when the second xbox tries to connect to the IP and port the dayz server doesnt respond back. I thought that the NAT rules and alternate ports on the xboxes prevented this Dayz is saying that the server is unreachable with an error code 0x00010001 this matches what I am seeing in the pcaps. I am using pfsense version 2.4.5p1

@radarg this may be an obvious question: assuming that the xboxes obtain IP addresses via DHCP, do the port forwarding rules still forward to the correct LAN IP addresses?

Yes, I double checked. the firewall rules where I assigned each xbox a alternate port. and I checked the outbound NAT rule

Do the packet captures show the traffic following the expected rules?
Is there any reason you're still running 2.4.5? Not that I'm aware of anything in 2.5 that would make any difference though.
