[Network] redirect paquets

hello all ;)

I have many friends who that have a problems with their ISP & co's servers. They can't play :/
With my ISP, there are no probleme.

I have a idea ;)
Redirect co's paquets by my server. a shema:

actual system
friends's pc with co ---->their ISP -------> co's servers

new system
friends's pc with co ---->their ISP ------->my server ----> my ISP ----> co's servers

I need to know ip server & port. The probleme is that I don't know the protole used by co (tcp or udp) and if co use several coonection (udp & tcp)

I hope that it's only a tcp connection :D

You have a idea ?

thx for all informations ;)

CO is a bit more complex since game server and login server are different ip address and port.

The client starts off by sending the name of the server and username and pw to the account server which sends back the ip address and port of the game server, assuming login info was correct. Your "proxy" would have to send back fake info to tell the client to actually connect back to the proxy. I dunno if thenoobzor did his tutorial/irc chat thing on writing a proxy yet or not.. it'd probably be best to try to find that thread.

Good luck!
