I got back into the game last night, and while I could log in, and play on the SG05 server I coudlnt be drafted by anyone, nor could I draft anyone

I put in all the ports that Frey gave me, but i still cant draft. perhaps there is another problem, any ideas?

I already have a cable modem, still lots of hassle, unless you like viruses

had one for years and had no problems. Sounds like you might need to configure a static ip adress and foward every thing to that. What is happening with me is what you describe to the T. It is the nat on my modem router im almost positive. Thing is i cant disable it because the range the router uses (for ip adress) falls into the range that tha manual states the modem wont connect to the internet. So goodbye dsl and hello cable since to fix the problem it is gonna end up costing me more in the long run to fix my dsl problem than to get cable.
I hope you get it working soon.
you might just want to try a switch instead of a router. Im not sure of the differenses and all of that but it has helped others.

Guys, one thing you can look for is a DMZ on the router.

Or, do what I do - get a switch and break out your connection.

Plug your Gaming comp directly into the switch, it will get an IP address to itself.

Then, plug the router into the switch. The "uplink" goes to the Cable Modem / DSL modem.

Yes, yes, I know, all you paranoids out there "OMG, that means I'm open to the internet"....

You are correct, but let me tell you this:

In the 6 years I've had cable, I've ALWAYS done it like this, and I've NEVER been hacked.

Just turn of NETBIOS and CLIENT for MICROSOFT Networks in your Network Connection settings for that interface...

Then you are only running a TCP/IP stack, nothing else.

If you need connectivity to an internal network that is behind the router itself, then just get a second NIC and multihome your machine.

Just don't put a gateway address in the second nic's properties (set it a static IP on the same subnet as your Router is handing out DHCP addresses), and all your internal network traffic will pass over this interface, while all the internet traffic goes over the interface connected directly to the cable /dsl modem.

If your're running a proper AV client and keep your machine updated, you shouldn't have any issues !

NOTE - Some ISP's (like mine) have a small charge for an extra IP address - I think Comcast charges me 4.99 a month extra for that 2nd machine account. This allows the Router to pick up a WAN IP as well as your machine picking up a WAN IP via DHCP from your ISP.

Hope this helps some.

Oh and by the way community - does anyone realize this is the REAL pneumonic81?

If your wondering who that is, then check the readme credits for OP Plus 4.0....

and Orion Pirates - pneumonic81 is the guy who made the X Ship Fed models for OP, as well as well as some of the most fantastic models as a mod.

Rick was on the Server last night, and from the conversations we had this morning I think he liked it

Welcome back pneumonic81 !!!!!!

No DMZ option?

i have a DMZ option on my router but i dont think its on, what do i do?

Julin Eurthyr · « **Reply #13 on:** October 13, 2005, 05:15:08 pm »

Usually putting a computer on a DMZ entails finding out (or preferably statically assigning) it an IP address, then going to the DMZ option and telling it the IP of the computer you want on the DMZ.

pneumonic81 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 13, 2005, 05:30:43 pm »

ok i set the dmz on my router nad put my computer in it, i also want to verify the ports i need open, cna somone post them here for me again?

Julin Eurthyr · « **Reply #15 on:** October 13, 2005, 05:55:31 pm »

Once you put a PC on the DMZ, all ports are effectively open. You should be good enough to play...

i would still like a list of ports, if you have them

Julin Eurthyr · « **Reply #17 on:** October 13, 2005, 06:16:47 pm »

Check This thread, they're listed in there somewhere...

2300-2400, 47624 are all that is required for D2 or tcp/ip play.

Do not use the DMZ and port forwarding at the same time.

If using the DMZ and the local DHCP server then be aware you may need to change the DMZ host IP address regularly.

Do you have a manual for your router? Read it.

I dont have a local DHCP.

I have those ports open, no go.
