OP Wireless
« on: July 08, 2007, 08:24:54 am »
I am trying again <sigh> to get this to work, but without success. I have the internal IP for the wireless-receiving laptop set to be a DMZ IP in the router. I have trawled through the How To and Engineering Boards, but can't find a relevent thread - any ideas or pointers to a good thread I missed?

Wireless can be treacherous for gaming, however I would try giving your machine a static address ie 192.168.1.50 and then do port forwarding to the laptop from the router and avoid using DMZ.

You need to make sure that any firewall or firewall like app in the laptop is configured accodringly. I've gotten this to work in the past just takes some adjustment pertaining to your environment.

I will try forwarding rather than dmz ( i read all Bonk's posts).  Glad to hear DH actually has had success doing this. I have a D Link WBR-2310.

Mazeppa has gone through this before, but I'm not 100% he ever got it to work.
maybe send him a PM or email.  ;)
I know I've tried with my wife's laptop to play wirelessly and never could get it to connect to the D2, no matter how many ways I tried.

Yes I just saw something like this with a guy in Scotland that I helped. Once I set his stuff to forwarding he seemed to work ok.  Give that a try..

Cable from what Ive seen is not like DSL its something to do with the Cable modem and how it treats or "virtualizes" its IPs.  Be nice to run some tests with guys on Cable, even in the last Dyna I saw a number of people having problems connecting because of the nature of cable. Ive been able to host just about anyone on DSL. Some tests might reveal what it is that would improve this issue.

Heres a general question....is it just OP you have a problem with or do you see connection issues with other games as well....this might be a good quetion for anyone to answer.

Where exactly isnt working at this time.


PS...the sig girl is Sofia Vergara they are all her...Looking at others to make a new one but she's nice to look at even if my post sucks... ;)

Even if we fix this you need to consider something for serous gaming.  Most of the time you'll be playing you have to share it with;

A. Other 2.4mgz systems broadcasting
B. An N wireless nearby will knock you off as they have been found to suck up the airways at 2.4 or even 5.8
C. Other things broadcasting in that range will lag you....ie Microwaves, Wireless phones, other wireless units....

Mainy this is why many die hard gamers dont use Wireless connections, not even Mouses or Keyboards.

Not the most secure way to fly, but then again I've had un-protected sex with women I've met on the internet . . .

I've gotten wireless to work at my apartment, my friend's parent's house, and my brother's house.   Every time it was Windows XP pro, XP firewall turned off, NO 3rd party "security" apps running, DMZ on the router.   Because I host servers, I've no choice since my routing ports need to me routed to that IP t Wirhat I have to use DMZ.  At other people's houses they just put my IP in the DMZ and it just works.  Not sure what to say, I would like to point out that I ALWAYS had a strong signal.


AHHHH!!!!!  What wireless client are you using on you laptop?   I don't use the Microsoft Zero config, I use the Intel Proset.   I wonder if that has something to do with it?

i run wireless on 3 pc's at home all run op. u dont have to dmz but its makes things easy, i recomend makin sure u upgrade your filmwear. sometimes u cant get op to "unlock" or un firewall if its not current drivers/filmewear. run static ip's on all pc's involved cause only the dmz'd one will stay static if u dont
