this isnt for your type of router but it does give some info on the ports and such. http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163349163.0.html hope this helps

Yeah I've seen that...I mean does it really require that I open all of those ports...that's insane...its any wonder a firewall even works...

I dont play from behind a router so i ont realy know if you need to but im almost positive you have to. What you could do i guess is open a few then try logging on. But i think you have to open them all.

Thanks for the help, and your right...I finally just checked a reference on dlinks site, and put in all of the ports, and it connected just fine, but I couldn't find GW5...but at least I know it works...

gw 5 is over the one were all playing is aotk2 and its an op server. I think there is one eaw server that is up. Not sure what it is tho. Read the description and see if you need any dl for it. Most importantly tho have fun.

Firstly read your router manual in its entirety. I'll need the full model number (including the letters) to link the manual for you. Then research lan configurations if you are not familiar with them.

Ah, it is a wireless router? These are notoriously bad for stable multuiplayer gaming. CAT-5E works just great up to 100 meters. (and is 1000x more secure, since that seems to be an issue for you)

The only ports required for the D2 are 2300-2400 and 47624, thats it. (directplay ports only - Blame MS for the range)

Configure your lan statically, DO NOT use DHCP and the DMZ. Forward the mentioned port ranges to the client PC with SFC installed. Your router must support port range forwarding. Ensure your router has the latest firmware.

Do not run software firewalls period. (They can only add lag and a false sense of security).

Works every time.

OOPS, just noticed this post:

What I suggest still goes however. There is a tech support acronym: "RTFMS"...

I thought I tried just those...and it didnt' work...but maybe not...I will try it with just those enabled to see if it works, and if it does, I will remove the other ports...as for the tech support acronym...I completely agree...

Thanks,
