^-P-^Lazarus 0 Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 (edited) I have just bought a speedstream 5861 Business Class ADSL Modem/Router in place of my US Robotics Sureconnect 9000 USB. The only trouble is I don't seem to be able to 'HOST' GR games anymore as no-one can see me as I am now on a Network address. I have visited the efficient.com website and found out the ports to open for GR (ie 2346-2348 on TCP & UDP) and have set these up in the NAT section of the router configuration.. (I think..) I can see games being hosted 'outside' and can join them, but no-one outside can see mine etc. I can access the net, send/receive Emails, but not host. The Hardware firewall is disabled & IP address forwarding is set. Should I click the 'bridging enabled' button as well? (although this didn't make any difference to the problem when I did it yesterday). Anyone else got this model & can offer me some help?? I'm new to this router/NAT stuff & I'm stuck!! Life was so much simpler with my USB direct ADSL connection! Edited September 12, 2003 by ^-P-^Lazarus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specter 0 Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I just went to their website and they dont even list the speedstream 5861 Business Class ADSL Modem/Router . Is it a discontinued model? Also, have you tried for testing, putting your puter in the DMZ to see if that cures the issue up? IF it does, then you have a port forwarding issue. Also, is your network setup dynamic or static? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
^-P-^Lazarus 0 Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 Sorry - The Modem is a 're-badged' version of the speedstream from 'Efficient Networks'.. The exact model I have can be seen HERE with all it's features.. (5861) Dumb question time - DMZ ? What does that stand for & how do I put my computer into it?.. sorry Brain freeze..

firefly2442 0 Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 DMZ = De Militarized Zone. It's basically a feature that you can turn on so that, the one specific port does not have the firewall setup, it's completely open. This way you can host games and such. HTH.

^-P-^Lazarus 0 Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 Thanks - unfortunately (?!) I don't seem to have this setting on the 'Efficient 5861', I will keep at it though.. I have sent an Email to efficient (which will no doubt be ignored), I found a great site HERE which is to do with the 5861 & have followed all the instructions I can.. here's hoping.. .. By the way in response to above : LAN addresses are dynamically assigned, with the WAN IP being fixed at the provider.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sunraa 0 Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I can help you only with ports Here is the list of ports that GR is using : TCP : 2346 UDP : 2347 UDP : 2348 And if you are planing to host on ubi, here is the list of ports that ubi is using: TCP : 6667 TCP : 40000-42000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
