Multiplayer internet game probs

[Delta 0]

Hi there

Been a long time since I posted here and just as long since I played GR! My mates and I were huge GR1 players -mainly LANing - and now want to play again. We have been trying to set up a multiplayer game online following the instructions pinned above. However, we're having some difficulties. First of all I setup portforwarding on my d-link RTA1335 according to the instructions on Portforwarding.com (I used the 1320 as they are the same machine basically) here is screenie of the setup

hopefully that's ok.

Then I create a game in the internet tab of Multiplayer with all the settings etc but when he types in my external IP nothing shows in his server table.

Also i can ping his router but he cannot ping mine. Could that be an issue?

Thanks for your help on this

ok...fixed the pinging issue, a tickbox in the router setup "allow ping" so that's nice. But I still cannot create a game that my mates can join. I know it is possible because I typed inteh IP of a couple of servers listed in the GR Games room and they immediately showed the ping, users etc in the server table.

Any clues anyone?

Cheers

I think I found at least one significant problem in your router settings.

You've set the ports to route to your external IP, not your internal IP. You need to change the 203.*.*.* IP to your private network IP of your hosting machine.

That should do the trick. For port forwarding see the site of www.portforward.com

Thanks guys, that did it.

I have been sorting this out for TeamSpeak as well and now with that info I can pass the TeamSpeak Connection test.

Now to see if I can host a game...

Cheers
