Looks nice. It is for new GTA2 players? Perhaps also add info on how to check if internal IP really is 192.168.1.x, sometimes it can be different and how to change it in the router (www.portforward.com). :)

BenMillard from GTA2 Game Hunter wrote:<BenMillard> very nice style but too much information
<BenMillard> and the most important thing, the "source" computer, isn't in the top-left
<BenMillard> so the reader starts with the machines they aren't trying to fix
<BenMillard> mirroring the graphics and moving the text accordingly would help that
<BenMillard> the colleague's PC is irrelevant
<BenMillard> I would expect the middle bit to be the Internet, i.e. "no man's land", a netural bridge between the two sides of the connection
<Elypter> i will make one for 2 persons per router too
<Elypter> with dxport
<Elypter> thats what the collegues pc is for
<BenMillard> separate graphics would be sensible
<BenMillard> the left would just have the noob PC, then their router, and that connecting across the Internet to the right
<BenMillard> the right would have 1 or 2 players they are trying to play against
<BenMillard> spacious is nice but this has such large gaps the relationships are lost, imho
<Elypter> the traveling direction of a package that has to go through the router is from left to right
<Elypter> all network diagramms put their destination device at the right side
<BenMillard> that's not the user's perspective
<BenMillard> the "source" is the machine they are trying to set up
<BenMillard> and for hosting games, which requires the most careful setup, it's two-way traffic anyway
<Elypter> i rearranged and resized the left and the center
