[cod] And with the patch the problem with NAT is back

[cod at kaleplek.net]

Yes this works if you want to use a private server. But i'm using a public
server and then when i do this i won't show up in any list on the
internet(ASE/gamespy).

Lets give some background to everyone to put it in the light again :

Internal workstation      Nat Server internal/external
                           (with cod running on it)
10.5.1.123 -------------> 10.5.1.1 / 62.216.16.89 -------> Internet

Connecting from my machine results that the server is seeing that adress
is local and not remote and connects me not through nat but internal. Then
the server is asking to authenticate me with my internal address by
Activision. This is dropped by activision because private spaces are not
allowed on the internet.

What i'm looking for is a workaround/fix that is saying when it is a
private range don't Authenticate on the internet everything else do
Authenticate. Or even better when i can say don't Authenticate ETH1.

Please is there somebody who know how to do this, or can push me in the
right direction.

Thanks
Greetz
