Sigh....Port forwarding again..
« on: November 30, 2007, 06:31:56 am »
Well anyways every game im tried to port forward on i seem to have problems. My router is Siemens Speedstream 4200, im running windows xp anyways...

When i run my server its showing me 9999 ping...ive followed the port forward instructions on 'portforward.com' clearly for soldat and checked and re-done several times.. the soldat server test that apparently joins as a spectator is actually coming up as a pass for some reason???

help me..what am i doing wrong exactly...ive forwarded to the addresses told anyone else use a speedstream 4200, coz i need help badly and im slightly confused.

What does the ping show as for other people?

Usually the ping will show as 9999 for you if you're in the same house as the server, mainly with certain types of routers.
