I've opened my ports.. what else can I try???

from Demigod Forums

I've had the most luck with custom games, but today even that is hopeless....  I can't connect to the players and eventually get a NAT disconnect.

Pantheon is worse...

I don't know what other info to provide.  I'm on Comcast and use a router.  Cable modem.

Any ideas?

What do you mean by "NAT disconnect"?

1. Run DMZ on your computers ip (if your router has that function - to open every single port to that ip)

or

2. Try defaulting your router and modem and resetting them up

Ok, I DMZ'd my IP address...  I don't knwo what you mean by defaulting my router and modem.  I am running windows firewall...  Do I need to do anything with that?

 

Thanks

Update - Seemed good at first... I connected to a Pantheon game suprisingly painlessly that was a 3vs3 with 1 AI each...  About 10 minutes in, everyone apparently got kicked and I was left with all AI's.

What in the world gives you the impression that you are right?  Do you randomly make decisions like this without any logical basis or evidence?

@ Javaslinger,

 

Do you know if your cable modem might also be performing NAT?

 

For instance...you may have placed your PC's IP into the DMZ on your router (thereby opening all traffic to your PC from the router) but if your modem is also set to perfom NAT instead of simply being a "pass-through" then all you've achieved is to allow all traffic from your router to your PC, but it's not even getting to the router because it's being blocked at the modem.

Have you plugged the computer into the modem to "just be sure" its nothing inbetween?
