Most routers have a thing called DMZ hosting *enable it *set the IP address of the computer that is hosting the server(192.168.x.x) *generally DMZ sucks...  Doesn't work all the time, although most routers have an Advanced Section... 1>>DMZ: ******************* *** enable Computers IP 2>>Firewall: ******************** enable Computers IP place ' * ' in all input fields 3>>VirtualServer: **************** *enable *set private IP"computers IP *set public port of 7777 *protocol type"both" UDP and TCP *set private port of 7777 *protocol type"both" UDP and TCP then apply those settings and do it over again with Public port of 7778 Private port of 7778 That should worik for ya... Good luck Pc, Del |

heres what I did
I did the DMZ hosting thing
then I did the virtual server thing with the 7777 and the 7778
but the firewall thingie was weird cause it has like
(X)Enable - ( )Disable
Name: (Thingie)
Action: ( )Allow - ( )Deny
[IPRange Start] - [IPRange End]
Source:
Destination:
so I dunno where to put the computer IP...
I just filled everything with stars, but it still only pings up to 40% of the servers

I did not explain that those were 3 ways to open the router...
Don't do all 3.
I would recommend the Virtual server or Firewall
FIREWALLSETTINGS:
--------------------------
(x)Enable - ( )Disable
Name:
(Look at list in lower of screen u will see each port adjustment has a name ... Name it 'Rune')
Action: (x)Allow - ( )Deny
[IPRange Start]=[IP of your comp]
[IPRange End]=[IP of your comp]
(ex: 192.168.0.100) d-link/netgear
(ex: 192.168.1.100) LinkSys/SiscoGateway
Source: *
Destination: *
if Firewall does not seem to work use the Virual Server and use those ports
7777
7778
Hope this helps...

I did the VirtualServer thing, and I can join games now! (although It won't ping past 44% still)
now I just gotta see if ppl can see my server, otherwise I'll try the other ways

NP...
Are you wireless or hardwired with ethernet cable from router into the back of your computer?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You might want to turn the MTU setting down as well...
'MTU'(MaximumTransferUnit) is the packet size...This can cause a poblem as well.
'MTU' can be located in the 'WAN' section of the router
Depending on your connection it goes like this:
DSL: most DSL[SBC/Verizon/ is sweet at
MTU:1428
AOLBroadband: is sweet at
MTU:1352 - 1382
Cable:Most cable is sweet at
MTU: 1422 - 1428
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also 'disable' UPNP on the router...
also located in the Advaced section of the router.

I have Adelphia Power Link, and a linksys router.. All I did to be able to start servers (I could already join them) was enable DMZ Host... You have to know where your computer is located on your router in order to do this though, for instance.. 192.168.1.100... Would be the first computer IP, that the router assigns ( The router assigns each computer hooked to it a special IP) (To find out what yours is, go to Run.. and type ipconfig) So, the IP;s on my router go... 192.168.1.100 <===My computer 192.168.1.101 <===My bro's 192.168.1.102 <===My bro's 192.168.1.103 <===My bro's What I did is opened up the router settings by opening Internet Explorer and typeing in the adress http://192.168.1.1/ Then, I went to the "Advanced" tab... Then to DMZ Host Then it asks you to choose which computer IP (That the router assigned) that you wish to remove from the firewall, ... (Therefore leaving the connection on your computer the be wide open to the Internet, you can start or join servers on online games, BUT, I repeat "BUT", The computer you removed the firewall from is now under no protection from viruses, ect...) This is what the DMZ Host page should look like... ======================================= This feature sets a local user to be exposed to the Internet. Any user on the Internet can access in/out data from the DMZ host. Enable the feature as you wish to use special-purpose service. ======================================= DMZ Host IP Adress: -- 192.168.1."Type Your Computers IP Here" Apply / Cancel / Help ======================================= Heres a picture to show some more detail... And remeber, my computers adress is .100 (192.168.1."100")... www.ini-honor-trophies.com/Rune/HostedSigs/DMZHost.jpgHope that helps.... Peace, Squall |

DMZ actually works on some routers/gateways, though most it seems to fail a lot.
DMZ hosting is the most dangerous way to open the ports on the router/gateway. I never recomend to use it, or you must disable it after every time you close Rune.
Although if you are having a problem loading the server list...it has nothing to do with your ports. Ports only need to be open for enabling your opload packages... allowing others to connect to your computer through the router/gateway.
His problem has nothing to do with any of this anymore if it is only loading 40% in the server list.
Check out the MTU settings and change the MTU(MaximumTransferUnit) to a lower number. MTU interfeirs with the ability to download packets of information. Suach as the server list. Your packets are exploding as you are fed packets from gamespy. Your router can't handle the size of the internet tunnel through the ports.
MTU can go as low as 1300(not recommended to go that low unless needed)
1382-1442 are good range of MTU settings....
Good luck, some routers can be a pain in the butt! LoL

ok, heres what I have on (or off):
DMZ
Virtual Server
(and I can join games now)
I lowered the MTU from 1500 to like 1400, and I also disabled the UPNP thing (it was the the wan section like you said), and it still wont ping over like 48ish.
My macosx thing isn't doing anything is it? I mean it comes with its own firewall thing and god knows what else.

Yup that could definately get in the way Also another thing... If you are hosting a server using the open ports... Your server might only show up in 'lan', though to others it will be in populated servers. So wait it out for about 5 minutes(running default maps). If nobody joins...Do a powercycle. PowerCycle: Modem 1st (leave it down for 3 minutes) Router 2nd (leave it down for 3 minutes) PowerUPCycle: Modem 1st (sends a signal to the router) Router 2nd (sends a signal accross the network) The try it again... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If this does not work you probably want to update your (FIRMWARE) FIRMWARE: Think of it like the BIOS of your computer. It triggers things to load in the operating system(IE WindowsXP) Firmware works the same way, it is burnt on the chips of the router, updating it to handle todays networking. Even if you have just purchaced a brand new out of the box router(85% need updates). |
