Router Trouble

from Sins Forums
I know this is covered a bit in the FAQ, but what exactly do I need to do? My router is a DLink DIR 625 by the way. Here is a screenshot of what I thought I was supposed to be doing in case anyone is curious.

Dr_Waffles,

again, there is a difference between simply "opening" ports, or (doing which is actually required) and forwarding (all traffic on certain) ports to a specified internal IP address (ie. your PC)

Please follow the step-by-step guide linked-to right under the GREEN writin in the OP of this thread


That guide has everything you need to know with regard to SINS-networking and what you'll need to forward through/past your router.

If you have issues correctly completing steps in said guide, please post in the thread I linked you to or PM me on these forums. I'll be glad to help.

thanks,

the Monk

Also,

If you'd like to install the BETA of version 1.1 (v1.09) you can test-drive the new optional netcode which doesn't require forwarding of any kind.

You'll need to visit www.impulsedriven.com and download and install IMPULSE in order to get the BETA patch.

Actually immediately after I posted this I downloaded the beta. So with it I shouldn't have any trouble with hosting/joining? Great if so. Also thanks for that link too.

Just one thing,even if Alloy says IP is not visible.I still can host and finish a game.

How strange.
