To play Falcon 4 online from a client machine on a network you need to open both tcp and udp ports 2934 and 2935. Below is a detailed explanation on how to configure Sygate 4 to allow multiplayer from a client machine. Please note you will not be able to connect to any online games from the server machine.

Let us assume that you have the sygate network installed and can access the internet.

Download the falcon4.sar file. Make sure you unzip it into a directory of your choice.

Open the sygate user interface and click on the Advanced tab. Next click on the Access Rules Tab then Import. Look in the directory in which you saved the falcon4.sar file. Click on the file then click Open and then OK.

The Next step is to add a special command line switch to the Target Line of your Falcon 4 shortcut. You do this by right clicking on the Shortcut you use to launch Falcon and selecting Properties. Then add the folloing to the end of the Target Line:

-ip x.x.x.x (x representing your external ip address)

You have to add your external IP which is the IP used by your sygate server to access the internet. It's not the internal IP for example: 192.168.0.2 etc. The external IP can be retrieved by going to the Windows Start menu then Run and type in winipcfg on your sygate server machine.

The command line should look like something this:

"C:\MicroProse\Falcon4\Falcon4_108i2.exe -pf 100 -ip 67.99.854.233"
