GoofsPij Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Hey, I'm a believer that Linksys makes crap! If you're going to make a NAT device, make it work the way it should! I have the lastest firmware (1.42.6, I believe), and port 28070 is forwarded to my local IP (192.168.1.100)... I start a dedicated server and no luck. It doesn't appear in the game browser and all I get in "hitch warnings" after it takes a couple seconds to send a heartbeat... I don't know what else to do, I've read all the posts about Linksys "Routers", and nothing has helped... Frustrated.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoofsPij Posted May 7, 2002 Author Share Posted May 7, 2002 well I finally got it to work behind the router... I think my friend had to type connect IP:port in console But now I've got another problem... After about a minute of play, it locked up hard! I was running a dedicated server that I connected to. Should I just select "No", under Dedicated Server (not LAN or Internet)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediGhost[SITH] Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Did you go to winipcfg, and release and renew? Also... The port 28070 doesn't show up on the list these days. Pick a random number between 28070 and 28099 I'd say, and forward that port to 192.168.1.100.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mInk3nine Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 i have this router and its probably the best thing i ever bought for my computer. what i did in my case was i setup my jk2 server on my slower computer and set that IP as the DMZ host, then configured my server and viola. I didn't need to forward any ports or anything like that, but i can still connect to any q3 server, jk2 server, send/recieve files etc on my faster machine. whether that is a security hole in my network or a bug in the router i don't know, but it worked for me, it should for you...

JediGhost[SITH] Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 No, actually Linksys is just a piece of crap. No matter what you do your server will lag. Everyone has about 100 ping, when without Linksys (using a different brand router) they have about 50 ping. The stupid thing comes with a hardware firewall that you CAN'T turn off. What kind of company would do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoofsPij Posted May 7, 2002 Author Share Posted May 7, 2002 Cool! Played an entire match...my friend had about a 51 ping... Problem is, he wasn't able to find it in the browser. He had to connect to my machine through the console. I forwarded ports 28060-28500 to my server. Thanks for your help guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
