i found out the reason alot of my games wouldnt work and it was my router how can i fix this?? its a Linksys WRT54GS
I'm running a WRT54G and I got the same problem for some games... Port fowarding never helped me actually so I just gave up... Good luck with your fix though =)
Blagh, I had a Linksys wireless router as well with the same problem and I never got it fied. Just return it and get a new one, SMC and D-Link are some better alternatives.
Just cuz you fixed the ports in your router you still have to fix it in your firewall, I run five server's and Teamspeak of my PC here and a game server too and it is very Important that you open the ports in your firewall as well is your router and then your done... I have ports open in every witch way possable. If you still need help on Your router issue then email me at [email protected]. I pay 300 a month on just server's alone so ports are very important to me...Also if you can post what windows your using that could help me too. Also what Firewall your using too, or just Default windows firewall. >>?
Thanks for the help DeathWissssh but I'm good with the help. Everything is running fine, the games that needed to be fixed I gave up on and not going back to because it bored me anyways >.< I'm running Windows XP Service Pack 2 and no I'm not using Default Firewall I'm using Zone Alarm Professional
May i know what is the exact problem you are having ? Is it port forwarding problems, since everyone before me was talking about port forwarding ?
