Well JKII uses special Ports , I use a Router too and had the same prob, open following ports. I got this from the official FAQ

 

The specific UDP ports that Jedi Outcast uses are 28060, 28061, 28062, and 28070 through 28081 (inclusive.) These ports need to be opened.

 

 

Hope I could help

I had the same problem at one time until I went to the support page. By default when you open the multiplayer section it searches for games on a LAN, look at the top of the screen and it will say local just click on there and change it to internet. Hope that works now.

Quake3 engine and Linksys Routers don't work together, so if you can play..take it when you can get it, because they have major issues, you can look up many sites talking about how Quake 3 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein and other such games don't work when behind a linksys router.. ID/Activision has been aware of the problem for 3 years and have done nothing, so don't expect this problem to ever be fixed. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Are you sure?I have a Linksys BEFSR41 router and I have MOH:AA, RTCW, and now JK2 outcast. And I have not ever had a problem connecting to any servers because of a "Linksys router/Q3 conflict". I have never even heard of such a thing, and I frequent linksys hardware forums. The only time I've ever had any problems with connecting to games was because of a setting I changed. How about you post a couple of those Q3/Linksys sites so I can go check em out.

I believe i have one bookmarked at work, I know the one i do remember most vividly was a quake3 forum.. i just typed CL_ParsePacketError in yahoo and it was one of the first sites listed I THINK. It was like a 7 page forum about how people are having issues with linksys routers and quake3. Also, on the officials RTCWolfenstein forums, there was a post about it from a RTCW CR, i believe...sorry i don't have anything to really link for you right now, kinda in a hurry, hope you can figure something out with this info.
