Port fowarding on Windows 2000 advanced server using ICS

[Ali147gta]

Wonder if you can help please. Using ICS in windows 2000 advanced server and running ICS is it possible to port forward on a range of ports using one rule say forward ports 6000 to 6999 to say 192.168.0.1 or do you have to have one rule for each port ?


Thanks in advance.

Right off the top of my head, have you seen this KB post?

However, have you checked your router(s) or firewall(s) to see if it can handle it for you? I would check these before using Windows routing.

Thanks I have read that already, that covers opening one port what i would like is one rule to open multiple ports e.g 6000 - 6999 on one ip address. as reading that, that would imply on rule for port 6000, one rule for 6001 etc etc


Unless of course i have missed something

Sorry Ali,
But everything I have looked at points to ICS not being able to support this kind of function. Almost every PS2 support page (that I looked at) says not to use ICS. The only thing I could recommend is to look at either getting a dsl router/switch. Otherwise you would have to configure individual ports for the entire range (it would be nice if there was a batch command for this to make a script but I couldn't find one).
