Need Help Setting up router

May 19, 2009 11:17:13 AM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

I have a fairly complex router full of options that im not even sure what most do. Its a Sonicwall TZ170. So far I have forwarded ports 6100-6200 +6073 UDP. I have allowed multicasting as I think I read a mention of this in one of frogboy's guides.

From here I am able to get into game lobbies quickly connect to 2-3 people and from this point its just a mess off attempting to connect to the other 2-4 people (as in... it never actually connects to them). This is usually followed by some failed NAT connection error message or you've been kicked from the lobby message (after 5-10min of attempting to connect).

I know that some option in the router must be the problem because when I connect through DMZ there is no problems its lightning fast (i joined a lobby with 9 people in it and was connected to everyone in under 5 seconds). On a side note I have also redirected all Pings to my computer (in case it was some problem with pings) and this did not worsen or improve the situation at all.

Thanks for any input.

Bart.

Well, if it works fine through DMZ, then it's probably a port problem.  Look in ImpulseReactor, and see if the correct ports are being used by Demigod.  Try opening up a ridiculous number of ports (like... 4000-8000) TCP and UDP, and see if you can get lightning results that way, and try to narrow it down.  Have you tried TCP?  I doubt the game uses TCP at all, and I'm behind a network which I don't have access to the main router, so I don't know, but that could cause a problem.

I'll try opening up the TCP ports... but i have also downloaded the program that checks what ports you have open and 6073 + 6100-6200 are defiently 100% being forwarded to my machine... not sure what else I can try... I am thinking that it could also be the firewall processor being overloaded in the router when i try to join?? I would like to make sure 100% on that before i go out and buy another 700$ router
