    A proxy will sort you here. You could use a complex one like Sambar42, but that's overkill. The easiest way, would be just to stick Cheapo on the gateway machine. Then start up QW on whatever PC you want to play, and type:

    connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    (The X's being the IP of the gateway machine).

    The type:

    .connect (name of qw server).

    The dot is important here. Cheapo has a set of proxy commands to control it, and (I'm assuming you don't use a proxy), you can also report location, enemies and status automatically during games.

    Problem solved.

    Download Sambar 4.2 from TUCOWS, and drop me a mail at:

    jaden@eircom.net

    I should be able to sort you out. The problem here will be that you have to configure Sambar every time you switch games, but that only takes a minute.
