CO791,just be nice to the guy...offer him a beer and a burger or something and he'll hook you up!...i promise

These are the settings i'm using with a 4 port Linksys router with 2 computers hooked up.

SETUP TAB
Lan IP = 192.168.1.1 (router IP)
subnet mask = 255.255.255.0 (default)
select "static IP"
WAN IP = your provider IP found in "ipconfig"
subnet mask = same # given on your "status" tab
DNS = same #'s given on your "status" tab (i had 3 sets of DNS IP's)

PASSWORD TAB = default settings

STATUS TAB = read only settings

DHCP TAB
enable DCHP server
start IP of 192.168.1.100
enter your DNS #'s
all other settings default

LOG TAB = default settings

SECURITY TAB
exempt computers enabled
from IP 192.168.1.10 (IP of computer # 1)
to IP 192.168.1.20 (IP of computer # 2)

ADVANCED TAB SETTINGS
FILTERS
SPI disabled
block WAN request enabled
multicast pass enabled
IPSec pass enabled
PPTP pass enabled
remote manage disabled
MTU disabled

FORWARDING
port 12200 to 12220 (TCP & UDP enabled) IP=192.168.1.10 enabled
port 12300 to 12300 (TCP & UDP enabled) IP=192.168.1.10 enabled

DYNAMIC ROUTING TAB = default

STATIC ROUTING TAB = default

DMZ HOST TAB
dmz host IP = 192.168.1.0

ok, thats the router settings. Remember to set each computer on your system to "static IP" and enter the IP that you assign. My computer IP for comp#1 = 192.168.1.10 and IP for comp#2 = 192.168.1.20. Enter the DNS #'s given in the "status tab" into each computer. You enter this info in the TCP/IP properties settings like [HellBaby] described.

This configuration is working for me but i'm still having trouble with GameSpy seeing my server clearly. I'm probably missing some port #'s for GameSpy. Anyone with GameSpy port #'s?

In my opinion the best way to host is to download a software firewall like TinyFirewall ( www.tinysoftware.com ), then set up a DMZ to the server's IP. Make sure you run MOHAA in windowed mode first because the firewall will prompt you for connections.

This way you can open up all the ports you need and the server will still be protected by a firewall.

Well i'm glad your stuff is working Lysis. Alot of people have been giving my tips on the boards and i've tried alot of settings but i'm still having trouble being cleanly seen on GameSpy. I can host without problems now but am having trouble being seen. Most people who join my server are doing it through MOH itself. I need to find the proper ports for GameSpy.

[CO791]

you do realize what it takes for me to be a nice guy? Hey was our buddy involved in that biker melee? Ill bet he ran like a girl.

[CO791]

Arkan, so your server is all set ? All we gotta do is get it to show up on g -spy now right?

[Arkan]

Biker Melee ?? I must've missed that but i doubt it though....it wasn't a Schwinn gathering..LOL !!

Ok, on a more serious note, ask the guy if he can run another line to your house since you're the first/last connection on the block (depends on which way you look at it). If he doesn't do that, at least see if he can update the line if it wasn't done so already. My line was over 15yrs old so he gave me a new one to the house. I'd throw him $50 if he gave you an additional line (dedicated line) free of charge. My buddy got lucky and got his own dedicated fat pipe!! If you get squat, don't worry, the sh;t's fast enough!!
