Title: Hosting Problems! Post by: Krael on May 12, 2006, 11:16:14 AM Well I can't host on the gamespy server (or anywhere else).
I already asked a few times about online and I've referred to the help file. Nothing helps I've got a router integrated into my modem and I can't deactivat it's firewall complety. I'm already a DMZ host and on my computer itself I've granted complete acces to gamespy. If someone has an idea to solve this, then I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance anyways.

Quote ... GameSpy, Internet Play, and Shared Internet Connections If you are having difficulty creating or joining games, or if other people are unable to join your GameSpy or Internet game, then you may get better results after adjusting your network configuration. There are two aspects to this, NAT (network address translator) devices, and firewalls. A NAT is usually a router or switch which permits multiple home computers to share a single cable or DSL modem connection on a single IP address. NAT devices work by making your internally known IP address (that is, the address you are known by on your home network) be different from your externally known IP address (the address that you are known by on the public internet.) This usually means that other people are unable to see games that you create. Your NAT, router or swtich should provide a way to set up a single computer as a "DMZ host". See your NAT, router or switches manual for more details. Some NAT's may also prevent you from joining a game. Again, setting up your computer as the "DMZ host" for the network should help. Moving your system to become the "DMZ host" will make it more exposed to the internet and at a potential risk for security. It is recommended that you consult with your ISP or network administrator before making this change. A firewall blocks other computers on the internet from contacting your computer through various IP port ranges. Many NAT's switches and routers may have a firewall built in. This assists with securing your home or corporate network. If the ports required to play Star Trek: Armada II are blocked, you will be unable to create a game, and you may be unable to join a game. You will need to ensure that the GameSpy and DirectPlay 8 ports are permitted through your firewall. The required ports follow: Firewalls are designed to provide security to your system or network. Activision is not responsible for any issues that arise from modifying your security. It is recommended you contact your ISP or network administrator before making any changes to your firewall.

So do you have any other ideas. Thanks by the way Title: Hosting Problems! Post by: DOCa Cola on May 31, 2006, 09:03:33 AM you do not need to deactivate the firewall, you have to set up port forwarding in your router with the ports described above
