Yes, version 1.1 on both machines.

dont know then. are you running any mods? if i remember from the other thread it was sending a command that was not recognized

I've hosted through my linksys without any problems, both on my lan and through the net. You need to give us more info on the problem you're having:

1. You say the folks get kicked. Do they get a message? What comes through on the console? Do their pings go to 999 before they're kicked?

2. Are you using the default settings on your router? If not, what have you changed?

3. What operating system are you using on the host machine? If it is XP, have you updated your network drivers?

4. What model router do you have? Have you recently changed anything on it? Are you running the most up to date firmware from linksys?

5. Does this happen with machines on your network, or just with machines coming in through your WAN port?

If folks can see the game and are connnecting, I doubt if it is the router unless it is dynamically resetting your machines ip address. I have no idea why it would do that, but it would cause folks to lose their connection to you.

I'm having the same trouble... on my 1.4 as well as my 400, both with sufficient ram and the 1.1 patch. I forwarded ports 12200 to 12300 (all you need with a router... yes mine's a Linksys) and some people connect fine... others get booted. I'm limited t0 128 upload on my cable, but even when my brother tries with no one in the server, he'll get kicked after a few seconds. I can usually get 4 or 5 people in, but some get kicked... some just ping at 999... some ping like a mofo at 50!! Don't know whats up. Tried hosting RTCW?

i'm limited to 30 on my cable. its so lovely. i could host a 1 v 1 server. just thought id bitch about that

I'd like to know who is hosting through a linksys router. A friend of mine is doing so successfully but i'm not having as much success. I'm able to host for a few minutes before others get kicked off the server. I posted a question about this but in this post i wanted to hear from people who are using the linksys router and the settings which they use in the router BIOS. Just reply if you are hosting through a linksys router......thanks.

this was discussed earlier. the problem is not with your router it is with your game. reinstall it because it is giving some sort of command that the others do not recognize

Arkan · 02-20-2002, 11:54 AM

I did a clean install of MOH on the other computer on my network and hosted through it with the same results so i guess that rules the MOH re-install out. This post isn't meant as a cross post...i was just trying to hear from people who host through a linksys router to talk about settings. Thanks for your input on this anyway, and when i get to the bottom of this, i'll post my results.
BTW, are you hosting through a linksys router?

02-20-2002, 11:57 AM

i dont host. the only way the router would be a problem is not letting the people connect in the first place. are you using 1.1?

Arkan · 02-21-2002, 12:30 AM

ok, 1st off, it's the router since i tried to host a TFC game and the same thing happened. I'm running WinXP on one machine and Win98 on the other machine on my network. Both have trouble hosting.
To answer some of your questions:
1.The people don't ping out....they just suddenly lose the connection.
2. Yes, i changed most of the settings in the router(you need to for a static IP)
a) The LAN IP is the router default IP (192.168.1.1)
b) The WAN IP is my IP provider addy (the one they assign me)
c) Subnet mask is default
d) DNS are given in "Status"...all three.
e) DHCP is set to "Disable" and starting IP is (192.168.1.1)
f) # of DHCP users is set to "0"
g) The forwarding ports are 12203 with "protocol TCP" enabled and IP of 192.168.1.10 enabled.
h) DMZ host IP is set to 192.168.1.10
i) The router firmware is 1.42.3 (most recent)
j) I have the "Etherfast Cable/DSL Router with 10/100 4-port switch" model # BEFSR41 V.2

Do you see anything i missed in the router settings? How are your settings different?

TIA for any info.

Arkan · 02-21-2002, 01:08 AM

Hey Zipgun.....you have similar settings? Hopefully we can sort out our problems.

CO791 · 02-21-2002, 02:42 AM

Hey ARkan...sad news...remember that old washed up wrinkled old man that plays under the name ZEke? He quit MOH. He says we are too fu..ed up.
Hope someone comes up with a fix for this problem. Atleast we know its not MOH.

Are both machines accessing the internet through the router or is your 98 machine going through your XP box to connect? If it is, do you have the default firewall on the XP box turned off?

Second, do you ever have this problem when downloading large files or doing anything else that requires a persistent connection? Do you ever get disconnected like this from other servers when playing on one of these two machines?

And finally, when you host on one machine and play on the other, do you have the problem or does it just affect folks coming in through the router?

You mean we actually beat someone sooooo bad that they had to hang up the guns?? wow, talk about funny!!

Anyway, someone suggested to me to enable UDP in my "router forwarding port" settings and disable TCP. I tried that with no luck. Anyone with a Linksys router have any other ideas?
TIA.
