Ping = 9999?

[Cheeser]

I read some other guy's topic, and all I figured out from that thread was that my report thing sucked balls.

Yeah I'd imagine that's bad. Should I just quit and go to other people's servers? Or is there some miracle worker here to help me?

You need to forward your ports if you have a router and make sure that your firewall allows Soldat's traffic.

Look at Portforward.com and look up your router model, and you should be able to get step by step instructions. If your model isn't in the list then you'll have to rely on Google and search for it there.

In the end, you should forward:

• 23073 UDP (game port)
• 23073 TCP (remote admin, same as game port but TCP)
• 23083 TCP (file downloading, game port + 10)
• 23196 UDP (All-Seeing Eye, game port + 123)

Yeah I'm...err..kind of retarded when it comes to the outer workings of my computer. I'm not sure:
What a router is.
Whether I have one or not.

^ That's basically where I'm stuck. I went on the site and it showed me a huge ass list of router models (I think) but I've no idea which one I have, or if i have one in the first place.

[urraka]

A router is like a small box where you plug in your LAN cable and also the internet cable. It should have inputs for more than one computer, meaning you can plug 2, 3 or 4 LAN cables, apart from the internet cable.

If you have WinXP got to Start->Run (or Windows button + R), write cmd and press enter. In the console type ipconfig and press enter. You should see like 3 ip numbers. The last one is your router ip (in case you have one). That ip number is the one you can type in internet explorer to access the router configuration. Maybe there you see what model is your router.

[Cheeser]

Okay so I took BlueDog's advice, and got to this page. Some guy came here and fixed out internet and was on this page I remember. But one problem, you need a password and ****, which I don't have.

What now?

Edit: Motorola SBG900, lol I'm dumb, I just noticed that. I'm gonna go find that in the big listy thing.
Edit2: Okay currently I found out the password and stuff for that motorola page, and now I'm on it, I'm following the steps form the other site, I'll edit again if i get stuck.

[urraka]

Hehe you covered the ip number
Good taking precautions, but that's a local ip and can't be accesed from outside your network (it's usually something like 192.168.10.1 or similar).

Anyway, try pressing login without entering any user or password. If that doesn't work you will have to call whoever installed your router so you can get the password. OR you can reset the router, there's always a button for that somewhere, but you'll have to configure it over again.

[Cheeser]

Okay as I said in the edit, I figured out that password. It brought me to a page which is mostly white with a menu on the left. Since I didn't know what to do, I went back to the portforward thing, and I'm stuck at "Do not skip this step!
Please enter the static ip you want to forward to:"
What do I put there?

[urraka]

There you have to enter the ip of your pc. Go back to the ipconfig you did before. The first ip that appears there is the one you need.

[Cheeser]

Well, on forwardcrap.com it says "192.168.100." then there's a blank after it for me to type the end part. But mine starts with "192.168.0." should I enter the end part anyways?

Edit: Gonna try to make that sounds less complicated with another SCRENSHAWT.

Edit2: If anyone wants to hit me up on MSN to like help me more personally it's TehEasyCheeser@hotmail.com

EDIT3: Okay, I've gotten even farther. forget everything at the top of this post, I got it figured out. But now I'm stuck again So on portforward I am at http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Motorola/SBG900/Soldat.htm and it gives me 3 port entries to type in at the bottom, I type in the first two, but I can't type in the second 'cause it says

Error 1: "Add": Overlapped port range 23073:23073 with port range 23073:23073 of Soldat1

and I thought, oh didn't Toumaz say there were two kinds? like tms and pms or some crap, well they weren't there anywhere, so like...argh stuck.
Edit3.1: UDP TCP

Is the remote admin this a big deal?

[urraka]

it's not such a big deal, u just won't be able to administrate the server remotely, it depends on how u wanna use it though. the problem there is that u forwarded the port 23073 for UDP but not for TCP i guess

[DePhille]

You have to forward 23073 both TCP and UDP. UDP is for the gameplay itself and TCP is for the remote administration.
Your modem might have three presets for the ports:
- UDP
- TCP
- UDP and TCP

You have to make sure to select the mast one, if this is your case. Making two entries, one with UDP and one with TCP might give an error.
