Will Neverwinter Nights support multiple clients behind the same firewall connecting to an external server?
The server addresses different “connections” by the IP/IPX address and port combination. For example, it will accept a connection from 123.32.21.14, port 5000 and treat a connection from 123.32.21.14, port 5001 as a separate and distinct connection. We have encountered situations where if you are both the DM and server administrator, for instance, you may wish to have both clients connected at the same time – even if you don’t have an elaborate network setup behind a cable modem. In general, the clients choose a random port when talking to the outside world. If you need to open a specific port on a client to allow your router/firewall to correctly move it to your machine, this will be available as an INI file setting for each of the client programs we provide.
