Hi,

i have an ADSl connection with a router provided by the service provider (DLink 502T).

The problem is i cant play multiplayer games with my frnds.I cant accpet any incoming connections it seems or in other words i cant create a server.I've tried doing so in Quake 3.

I can connect to other servers but sometimes it shows "there is no reponse from the master server"

Any suggestions.Am i doing something wrong...?

Thx

they need to use your public IP address and the correct port(s) need to be forwarded from the router to your PC.

i hope my public IP is the same they show me at Whatsmyip

n how can i check the port thing

it should be, or you could check in the status page on your router.

For the ports it depends on the game which one(s) need to be forwarded.

this is how to set your specific router for port forwarding, just click on the program/game u want

What a fantastic site!! This helps me big time with my Flight Simulator directplay headache.

Thanks for the info!!

Cheers,

Dan

thx, so mny ppl have the same problem as you do and dont care to ask about it, but you did and now your happy

flight simulator multiplayer? hmm... what exactly do u do?

Will do is probably the correct wording in my case. My PC and all my stuff is in North York, Ontario where my fiancee and I share an apartment. I'm currently working in Ottawa and I commute everyother weekend ... that is until I'm transferred to Markham, which is very close to North York.

I am a licensed pilot and I use Flight Simulator 9 for IFR training. I also use it as much as I can with VATCAN and Squawkbox v3.4. Until I got the D-Link DVG1120M router for our voice over IP I had no problems with directplay. However the router arrived and I could connect once... but never again until I reset it.

This router's onboard setup is different then I'm used to and there wasn't a mention of any firewall settings. I was just reading up on the NAT Configuration menu when I saw your post.

I hope this solves the issue!

Cheers,

Dan

Sadly I was not able to get the multiplayer working... after I reset the gateway I can get it to work once, but never again until I have to reset the gateway. It baffles me that it would work once and then not again though.

Here's the error I get in dxdiag.

DirectPlay test results: Failure at step 9 (Creating Session): HRESULT = 0x80158185 (error code)

The DVG1120 router is apparently much hated in the industry We got it for our voice over IP phone connection.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks,

Dan
