        If you allow traffic between the interfaces you should be able to play langames, however broadcasts won't get from one subnet to the other so you might need to manually tell the clients the IP of the gameserver in the other subnet to join a game.

            Your game has to be able to specify the IP of a Server.
            ie. if you're in Halflife and you want to connect to a LAN server you have to add the IP of the local Server to your "favorites" list to be able to see it.
            –> broadcasts wont get over the router.

            In a thread i posted some c-code for a broadcast proxy (but for linux).
            I might need this feature (a broadcast proxy) too.
            If it is so far i will write a how-to how to do it (if i'll even be able to get it to work).

            We do what we must, because we can.

              Maybe someone should ask why kyohisro is separating these 10 computers into two subnets at all.
              Playing games together makes me believe this is not a high security corporate network. Putting them in one subnet might free kyohisro from other hassle…
              Load-Balancing the two WANs can be done differently; the easiest might be by policy based WAN routing.
