Symmetric NAT

April 21, 2009 6:55:49 AM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

Hello dear Demigod Community,

I live in Switzerland and got a problem concerning p2p.

My Router (Thompson Speedtouch) does use this mysterious symmetric nat that prevents some p2p connections somehow.

I know how to forward ports, i never really had problems with any game. And i did forward all ports that demigod uses,

but i just seem to have problems with some players. I could only play 2v2 since release, and im talking about 15-30 tries and 1 game.

 

My question is how do I bridge or disable this symmetric NAT?

I think it kinda doesnt answer another user(PC) if it hasnt "talked" to him yet.

Anyways i dont really know what to do, does anyone have a clue?

 

Best regards

Fantajim

I don't think you can change the NAT type in any router. You'd simply have to buy another one.

However, I thought that the whole NAT facilitator system from Stardock should also overcome the symmetric NAT issue.

Quoting n3crosys,

In yesterday's journal entry Frogboy only talked about intercontinental connection problems, not innercontinental connection problems. And they will solve it by putting proxy servers up, even though intercontinental connections should be rare anyway, since most people search for games that are labled with their continent.

So far there is no (good) comment (that I know of) on other connection problems, like the "Cannot connect to a NAT facilitator." problem or Symmetric NAT issues (which, as I said, I thought would be solved by Stardock's NAT facilitator system).
