Routers, Ports, and Timed out servers -
08-28-2002, 11:24 AM
Hopefully someone can help me with this. My problem is with hosting a server from behind a cable router.
I've searched the posts and read the tutorials, but all they say is, basically, "Unblock your ports." Okay, done that, but it still doesn't work. I even put my main comp on a DMZ and that didn't work. So can someone please give, send, or point me in the direction of some detailed information of what I might do? Here's the sitrep:
I have three computers, call them A,B, and C, (A being the primary). They are all networked and have access to the net via the router. They can all play on gamespy, or an outside host. They can all play on a LAN game hosted by any of the computers. But this is it. Here's what I want to be able to do:
I would like to be able to have one of the computers host a reg internet game, or even just comp A. I would like said game to be available to the other computers, (B and C), as well as computers on the net. Is this possible? If not, I would still like to be able to host for outside computers.
Can someone please help?>
Oh, and P.S.:
Can anyone tell me how to run MOH successfully through ZoneAlarm? I have to turn it off to play online, even though MOH and Gamespy are given full access. (now feeling really lame).
Thanks again,
