If you're a linux user with a win95 box connected to the net via IP
masquerade, you were probably frustrated that only chat worked on
battle.net. Well I finally figured out how to get it working using an
ipfwadm companion tool called ipautofw. 

Get ftp://ftp.netis.com/pub/members/rlynch/ipautofw.tar.gz 

This is a general tcp/udp port redirector for incoming udb services (such
as realaudio). 

apply the kernel patch and compile the ipautofw bin, reboot and do:

ipautofw -A -r udp 6112 6112 -c tcp 118

after your ipfwadm masqeurade rules

and go kick some ass.
