Dear Victoria Community,
I am a very enthusiastic fan of many titles from this crew. I have a problem hosting games for my friends to hook up to my game. Now if I disconnect my router and just play with my cable modem, my friend can connect and we play fine.
Then I reconnect my router and we have never been able to play with my router connected. I have this model:
Netgear RP614v2 with firmware 5.14 RC1
When I connect my router I am able to play other games like Day of Defeat, browse internet, download files, use DC++ (which also requires an open router port to be in active mode as I am), and my other computers are connected to the internet normally.
I have several tabs available to setup in my router setup menu. The two I have focused on are the:
Port Forwarding
Port Triggering
When in Port Forwarding I open ports 2300 through 2400 and forward them to my computer. I also opened the port of 47624 as indicated by the forums. I router both these openings to 192.168.0.2 which is my machine number.
So my friend puts in my IP and I host the game and he can never connect. I have had him try using specific ports like :2300 at the end of the IP. My options in the router config for port forwarding are limited.
I see one member here opened his router this way:
"Start Port 2300
End Port 2400
IP Adress is the IP of your local PC(if you have DHCP it's mostly 192.168.1.33 otherwise tipp "ipconfig" in the DOS Prompt)
then click on save"
I simply cannot get this to work as easily as this fellow. I don't see why we need to open 3 ranges of ports. I think that the above member made it work with a simple range it should work for everyone with the same range. Can anyone here please help me. As I mentioned, I am a huge fan and I want to take this to the multiplayer level over the internet.
We also tried pointing to one port, a range, port triggering which gives you an input range and an output range, etc. Please help.
Very very very greatful for help in advance,
Michael Hradek
P.S. I wanted to add a comment here that I have extensively searched the forums for solutions to my problem. I have followed links and suggestions left on HOI and EU2 multiplayer forums. Please advise.
