Haha. Yeah, nearly hit the teamspeak red-zone. I can't thank you enough for the help though. Setting the same static IP for both devices was my initial idea as well. The problem with that is it has to be done at the device level, and I'm connecting to various wireless networks on a regular basis, so setting a static IP for the wireless device isn't really an option. As it stands, I've got both the wired and wireless set to auto-detect, and the DHCP has a reserved address for the wired (

Thanks for all the help! (For the record, if anyone else is reading this, he finished up helping me out in the game lobby). This is what I ended up with (and Sins seems to do just fine): In order to easily keep using DHCP, I've set up reserved addresses based on the MAC addresses for my laptop, PS3, 360 and other devices. This works wonderfully, as I can auto-configure any device and still have a static IP. This generates another problem though... There are two MAC add

Indeed. I see what you're saying. Neither my modem nor router actually has a "bridge only" option, so I'm stuck with that. What I've done so far is to use the OFF setting for the firewall on the modem (though NAPT is still enabled; it won't function disabled for some reason). I've set up a static IP for the router and added that IP as the DMZ host from the modem. (That should effectively forward ALL ports to the router). The router's firewall is operating normally. I then went

@ the_Monk -- Oh, I read the whole guide. It was very well-crafted, and I'm sure a lot of people are going to benefit from it. I was pointing out the ports were especially helpful. Correction: I got TCP 6000 and 6112 from your guide. The others were "just in case" ports from other sources, which are likely unnecessary. I actually don't have the Netgear router set to bridge mode. That's why I was referring to it as "effectively" a switch. It has all firewall settings disabled, a

I'm fairly well-versed in the basic networking required to get this going. I have read the_Monk's guide (which was very helpful in pointing out the required ports for the game; thanks!). I can join games and play just fine, but when I try to HOST a game, people get the "Disconnected from server" error every time (and obviously can't join). I have a DSL router/modem set up which leads into a Netgear router (which is functioning as a glorified switch at the moment actually). All require
