Cannot join games

[wendigo4160]

Hi. I've run the network tester. Result:

Sending udp packet from 6112 to 6112
Received from /66.134.89.225:6112 to 6112 "NAT detected"

I've deactivated my windows xp forewall, and just in case I let my firewall acces op w40k. But yet, I can't join any games. How come :(?
PS: I'm using an zyxel 2602R-61 adsl router.

Take a look at this post (http://forums.relicnews.com/showpost.php?p=2215376&postcount=2) to see if any of that helps. If that doesn't yield any results, please post your warnings.log.

[wendigo4160]

Yes, I saw that thread. But there's no way I'm going to disable the so called "hidden firewall". It's a bit too risky if you ask me :)
But here's my warnings.log

bump :/

[wendigo4160]

So it's a new router I guess?

[GroundZero]

Hi there, Stormsong just referred me to this thread. Might I recommend firstly that you try the game without the Router attached, just connecting directly to the modem.

If this doesn't work, the problem is either within your system or your ISP.

If this does work, the problem is with your Router - could you post your Router's online manual?

[wendigo4160]

But I only got the adsl router, have no modem. Everything from RJ45 cabel and all other things, are going through the ZyXEL 2602R-61 adsl router. Without the router, I cannot be online. I was thinking about update the firmware, but last firmware update for this router, is over an year old :-\

[GroundZero]

In that case, can you provide me a link to your Modem/Router Gateway's Manual ?

[wendigo4160]

The router is nowhere to be found at ZyXEL's homepage about manuals o.0 This is werid.

EDIR: oh yes. Here http://www.zyxel.com/DownloadLibary_ShortName/P-2602R-61/user_guide/P-2602R-61_3-60.pdf http://www.zyxel.com/DownloadLibary_ShortName/P-2602R-63/quick_start_guide/P-2602R-63_1.pdf

[ÜberJumper]

Zyxel routers don't work well with CoH either, and they both use different networking technology (DoW is gamespy, CoH is Quazal).

I suspect that the problem is with the Router's built in packet filters dropping or ignoring packets being broadcast at it by other players in a game.

[wendigo4160]

man...I can play any other game online, but not DoW :'(
And since I really enjoy playing DoW, is the best way just to get another router? Or can I use an adsl modem instead of an adsl router?

[Mad Mushroom]

Put your modem in DMZ mode if you still have a problem ie. cant host automatch
you have nat bug

a usb modem works fine no internal firewall

or a get a new router/modem

the dlink dsl502T works perfect when in DMZ

p.s dont be a fool bypass your modems internall firewall by putting it in DMZ, but judging by your networktest results id say you are nat bugged

[ÜberJumper]

DMZ generally doesn't help Zyxel modem users on CoH, but it'd be interesting to see if it works for DoW.

I think it's the packet filter that's causing it... or some other silly security feature on the Zyxel modems. Zyxel's makers have put in their own firewall/NAT implementation that's a subset of the officially supported one, so it could be that they've managed to change some core NAT features that they shouldn't have.

[wendigo4160]

Hmm...if I'm going for another adsl router, I need to setup it manually so it can connect to my ISP. My ISP won't help me with that. Or it could be set up as an brigde. Should I go for a wireless router or an standard one? wireless only support up to 54Mbps, while the non wireless goes up to 100Mbps. So I guess wireless is not recommended?
