Hosting Game

[JCD]

Hello I can't host games.
If I try to host one I get the message that something is blocking my connection to the masterserver, tho I tried to open the required ports, disabling my software firewall und using the dmz feature of the router.

Here a part of my warnings.log
22:57:33.68 HostState - 84.62.27.48:6112 / 192.168.0.100:6112

Edit: I am able to join games

I'm having the same problem. I've been having trouble with GaySpy for quite some time, even though I've forwarded the correct ports for the correct protocol, I've reformatted/reinstalled Windows to get rid of that dreaded Norton firewall, and I've turned off Windows firewall. The only thing between me and the internet is my Linksys BEFSR421.

I've tried the DMZ setting also, but it doesn't help.

I've even connected my modem directly into my PC bypassing the firewall, but still no luck.

I am sick and tired of GaySpy. :madashel:

I should add, I can join games just fine. I can also host just fine when I don't change the game name from the default name (my screen name, LiKWiD).

Automatch works just fine. I just can't host for some reason and it's really aggrivating.

It says I'm supposed to click a button, but I don't see the button to click. I just see a big empty grey box, which is where I think the applet is supposed to be. What does that mean?

[Moe]

It means you don't have Java installed, likwid.

JCD: that's very odd, all your ports are accessible as they should be. Can you try sending a ping to peerchat.gamespy.com please?

[LiKWiD]

OK, I installed Java and ran the applet

What doesn't make any sense to me, is that I can host just fine as long as I don't change the game name from my screen name. If I change it, I get an error saying the listing server couldn't be contacted, and I get sent back to lobby.

There's the error message I'm receiving, if it helps at all. Please help, this is really annoying.

[JCD]

Bump :(

[xDoKx]

Do you have a static local IP set up for your router? I've forgotten to reconfigure that before after coming back from a LAN where I needed to change the network settings to "Obtain IP Automatically"

[JCD]

That shouldn't be an issue because I limited the IP's to one so I can only get one :p

[LiKWiD]

I haven't messed with any of my settings for a few months now; and yes, I have it set up for a static IP - I'm not a complete noob ;). There's no reason for me not to be able to host.

Please, can someone from Relic help us out? What does this error mean?

[JCD]

well looks like no one knows it

[LiKWiD]

JCD, I've filed an inquiry about this problem with THQ, but they still haven't sent me a confirmation e-mail telling me that they received my inquiry.

Maybe you should do the same? Post back here if you find something out, and I will do the same.

[JCD]

I already did send an email to THQ tho they didn't respond yet only the confirmation email too.

[LiKWiD]

On a related note, my games disappear from the list if there are idle ports (i.e., no one joining) for 60 seconds. Is there a way to fix this?

Something tells me both of these problems are related.

[Steamrunner]

Dunno if they're related or not.

But I'm having the same problems as you guys and I've had no reply from THQ either.

Seems to be a popular problem, eh?
