I have a 2Wire 1000HG DSL/Router. In the past, I have never had any problems playing online matches. My partner and I played for several years over at the old Zone. Now, I have problems hosting a match (no problem joining a match).
I have my firewall set up like this:
Protocol.....Port Number.....Application Type
...TCP..........80-20864........DirectX Game (DirectPlay) host
...UDP..........80-20864........DirectX Game (DirectPlay) host
This does not seem to work. I also tried truning off the WinXP firewall, but that didn't work either.
I also tried setting up the firewall with the Links1,2,3,4 as suggested in the port fowarding message, but couldn't get that to work either.
Any ideas?
