DMZ

[Tom]

Yep, open port 7755 on router and point it to his PC. No
need to put him in DMZ zone(big security hole, you expose
all ports on the pc). But be aware there is a potential
for the game server to be crashed as there is a hack known
for 7755, so you will need to check www.thq.com for info
on whether it is fixed. I am also assuming you are talking
about Red Faction 1, not 2. I'm not sure on Red Faction 2.
Write the comany at the least.
