I am connected and my router's firewall is entirely bypassed. Dunno what else to tell ya.

Even if you have router firewall off you MUST forward the ports, otherwise it does not know where to send inbound traffic on that port.

One last thing we could try, if one of you hosted the phoenix lobby but I hosted the game itself.

Even if you have router firewall off you MUST forward the ports, otherwise it does not know where to send inbound traffic on that port.

Even if I'm on the DMZ? It was my understanding that this bypassed the firewall completely.

Well, I just tried pinging the IP and get 100% timeouts.

I would not like to see what a 3-player game hosted by me looks like. My upstream is capped at appaulingly low speeds.

[forsaken1111]

Puzzling... you are connected ON that port, you should be able to ping the IP fine.

[Halfman]

I'm pretty sure that you have to forward ports anyway...

[Moogie]

*Shrugs* I don't know what to say.

Could Halfman host, then?

forwarding the port in the router is pointless when I am on the DMZ, because the router's firewall is not used. The fact that they can connect to the phoenix lobby shows the port isn't being blocked.

*Shrugs* I don't know what to say.

Sorry. Where are the instructions for the port forwarding? I will put it in on the off chance that it will do something, but... eh. At this point you aren't even hitting my firewall when you try to connect.

[Moogie]

It's different for every router, as I understand it. On mine, I go to the toolbox under Firewall options and do "assign a game or application to this device", then go through a little UI wizard to enter the port ranges.

That should have just about everything....

[forsaken1111]

ok which ports do I forward for black and white?

[Halfman]

6012 at least...

[Moogie]

6012 and 2612

[forsaken1111]

6012 and 2612

So this is confusing. Now that I have those two set as forwarded ports, I cannot connect to my own phoenix lobby.

Heh I'm an idiot, fixed it. Okay, try me now. same IP

[Moogie]

I'm not getting a connection now either, so it's not just you. x)


Mmmmmnope... still nothing.
