Sgt_Gore 0 Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I am running Windows XP (Pro), a Motorolla Surfboard modem, LinkSys BEFSR81 (v3) 8-port router. I have opened the router and set the DMX to enable, using the IP address for this computer (on the network router it is 192.168.1.101) I have opened the following ports: 2346 (TCP/IP) at 192.168.1.101 2347 (TCP/IP) at 192.168.1.101 2348 (UDP) at 192.168.1.101 40000 (both) at 192.168.1.101 42000 (both) at 192.168.1.101 80 (both) at 192.168.1.101 I have been on the phone with Linksys tech support and have still not been successful. I can host an intranet game on my in-home network without any problem. I have not been able to use my actual address for users logging in from another location by direct IP, nor have they been able to join using UBI. This is extremely frustrating. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pave Low 16 Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 No worries, we'll get you sorted Some things to look at/try: 40000 (both) at 192.168.1.101 42000 (both) at 192.168.1.101 For the ubi.com servers the UDP/TCP ports are:80: Usual Web Port 6667: Usual Chat Port 40000 to 42000: Required Ports for ubi.com*and for GR it's ports 2346 to 2349 (you can can use just one router entry for all 4 ports with both TCP/UDP selected instead of making one entry per port, just make the start 2346 and the end 2349) [*]Have you turned off the XP firewall on the hosting pc ? On the PC that is hosting GR. Go to Network connections, then right click on the relevant network connection and select properties, then select "advanced" and make sure the box under "Internet connection firewall" is unchecked. [*] Double check your external IP by visiting My IP.com and make sure this is the same as the one you're telling people. [*] Double check your Hosting PC is still using the IP of 192.168.1.101 (Launch a DOS window and type ipconfig to show the IP of that PC) if you are not using static IP's but allowing the router to assign them as sometimes they can change and the router would then be passing the game to a different PC. DMX to enable Do you mean DMZ ? you shouldn't need to set that as it does expose your PC and with that model router the port forwarding should work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
