kooljay2,

I accepted your xfire friend request. I should be online later on this evening if you're still having issues.


thanks,

For the forwarding, what do you put for start port and end port? I am using Netgear

plus my ip address doesnt start 192.168.xxx but is 207.xxxxx(other numbers). what does that mean? It seems completely random

@ liberalismwithagrenadelauncher,

1. start port and end port should both be the same (make two entries), one for one port and another for the other one.

2. Are you looking at your computer's IP address or the WAN IP address of the Netgear? If that's the IP of the Netgear, all that means is that that's the IP your router is assigned by your ISP. You'll need to go back to the first step in my guide and find the IP of your computer to enter it as the IP you're wanting to forward those two ports to.

The only reason one should check to see what kind of IP your router is being assigned is to make sure you're not in a "double-NAT" scenario (where your cable/dsl is ALSO performing as a router).

thanks,

@ monk
You sure do get around lol

@monk
I just bought the game and me and the wifey were wanting to play together. I opened the ports you specified. I can't seem to get them to forward the ports to more than one of my pcs. Ok like I have 6000 and 6112 tcp open for sins to my pc. When i try to open the udp ports for the same i get an error message. I also was able to open the udp ports to her pc no prob. I've also tried the lan option with no success. I guess I'm in your need once again sir:)

Lord_Dark_Cloud,

Some firmware on some routers will have issues with forwarding what it sees as the same ports (eventhough they will be different protocols) to the same PC on two seperate lines.

Having said that, you shouldn't have to forward anything on your router in order to LAN-play with your wife.

Did you both check the "LAN" check-mark in the upper-right of the "multiplayer lobby"?

Then in the "Sever/Host" line put the local IP address of your wife's (the host) computer. ie. 192.168.xxx.xxx

That should do it, if you're still having issues I'll get ya on my TS again and we'll figure it out!

@monk
Thanks don't know why i did do it that way with the lan. I was putting hers in mine and vise versa. lol

Is it me or does the link to the pdf not work?

My apologies, the clan-site went down on friday and being a weekend is proving hard to get back up.

If you want the guide right now, please contact me via xfire or MSN, and I'll send you the guide immediately.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT:
the clan-site (through which my guide is being hosted) is back up. I am however working on moving all of my guides etc. to another website so this won't happen again. I will update the download-links as needed.

It appears that I can host games, but I cannot join ones already created. 

I followed the instructions in "the Monk's" PDF, but when i try to join a game, it still tells me that I need to open the ports.   I can create a game and it works when someone joins it.

 

Any suggestions??!

 

If you can host a game (and people can in fact join you) then you're set up the way you need to be.

The "message" you are referring to is pretty general and is probably being triggered because you've got WAN ping-response or IDENT blocked on your router (neither of which will stop you from hosting/joining).

thanks,

the Monk
