I have a computer (Machine1) connected to the internet via ISDN.... its also sits on a 100mb LAN.

I have another computer (Machine2) connected to the 100mb LAN.

I run WinRoute Pro on Machine1 to essentially turn it into a router using NAT (name address translation or something). Machine2 then uses Machine1 as a gateway.

Is there anyway to set up WirePlay etc so that I can play WirePlay games on Machine2 ?

Ok strictly specking Wireplay does not support connections via routers.

However you may be able to get connected. You said that machine (1) is connected to the net via ISDN. And Machine 2 connects to the net by using machine 1 as a proxy. Ok what you can try is setting the Internet options on machine 2, to connect to the Internet using the network, you will have to set the proxy server settings to point at machine 1.

Wireplay on machine 2 will have to be set to connect using your default Internet connection. This may work however the gameplay may not be great.
