lol @ 2 hour bump

The portforwarding site is to teach you about port forwarding and it has a download for a utility to see if your ports are truly forwarded.

http://www.portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm

Again, I recommend you check out the Monk's Guide

http://themonk.ca/Monk/Networking_and_DEMIGOD.pdf (which was listed in the post I mentioned ealier)

I am sorry you are having problems, I do tech support for a living so I have little patience when I have to deal with this stuff outside of my job, so if I sound like an asshole, sorry again.

If you have no clue what you are doing, my best suggestion is to tell us what kind of router you havd and maybe someone who has it can post some screenshots on what you are suppose to do.

Here is a game (supreme commander) using your router

http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Belkin/F5D7231-4/Supreme_Commander.htm

You see where it says "We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Supreme Commander requires you to forward the 6112,9103,30350-30351 ports. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Virtual servers menu."

The ports for Demigod is 6073, 6100-6200 instead of "6112,9103,30350-30351"

Then try following those instructions on how to set it.

*sigh* it didnt work, i never thought when i got this game that id have so much touble just trying to play it, worst thing is i cant return it because i used cd key any other options? and now my vent has randomly stoped working getting stuck on sycnronizing wth this game has caused me nothing but trouble

well if i cant play online theres no real point in keep the game is there, but thats just a last resort im guna see if i can get one of my mates to see if he can figure it out
