For quite some time now, I've been using a 2.2.20 box for Internet
connection sharing. The drive in that machine is dying, so I added a
couple new drives and installed Slack 9.0 from scratch.

With 2.2.x and ipchains, connecting to Quake servers (the original Quake
1) was not a problem.

I plan on using either 2.4 or 2.6 as the kernel version, which means
iptables.

With iptables, however, connections to Quake servers do not work. The
initial connection succeeds, but no futher traffic is received from the
server.

I've searched Google quite a bit for answers, but all I've seen are
messages asking how to get it working, and messages saying it works fine
with no special modifications (which isn't true).

So how does one get Quake (and similar protocols - Quake 3, Wolf ET, etc.)
working properly with iptables?
