How to Setup a NAT for Multiple Machines to Host VSK Races Simultaneously on a Network with a Dynamic IP. (for Dummies) by Dez Brown aka Chameleon Example Router = Linksys/Cisco WAG160N (wired) What you will Need. 3 X Registered VSK Games 3 X VSK capable computers 1 X Modem Router (preferably a Linksys/Cisco WAG160N) (From this point on, I am assuming your router is setup, has recognised all machines & is connected to the Net with a Dynamic IP.) Step 1. Open the (DOS box) Command Prompt on all machines you wish to host with and type in “ipconfig”. The router will have assigned each machine a seperate IP address. You will need this information so leave the DOS box open for now. Step 2. Type 192.168.1.1 into your browser & open Router Setup/Advanced Routing. Enable NAT & create a Static IP Addresses for each machine on the Router Network using the Command Prompt information Machine 1 Machine 2 Machine 3 Note : Save Settings after each ! Step 3. Open Router setup/Gaming &Applications/Single Port Forwarding. Note: (Leave Port Triggering & Range empty as they are not necessary for VSK) Create 3 port Openings for each of the Static IP's. Save Settings. Step 4. Open Windows Firewall/Exceptions on each machine Add the Step 3 Ports & Protocols that apply to each. Note: (The name is not important in this instance.) Step 5 Open VSK Configure/Advanced/Network. Match the appropriate Server & P2P Ports for the assigned machines. Machine 1 Machine 2 Restart Computers. Start VSK & host on all 3 machines sinultaneously :) Machine 3
