I just bought myself a switched router. DLinks DI-704P. I know Linksys is better but for $30 i really didnt care. So everything works fine, except playing games online. Freelancer to be more specific. Im using PPPoE from the Router to get an Always On connection, and ATM only have 1 PC hooked up to the router.
My problem is, when I try to look at the internet servers in the game, i get none. It tells me that im connected, but no games show up. Ive tryied setting a DMZ for my IP, as well as opening the required ports (2300-2400) via an IP Filter, all to no avail. I could not find any manual port forwarding either.
Does anyone have any tips? Everything worked fine for my before, and it works when I connect my modem to Port 2 on the router and dial-up via windows. Odd that windows actually works better for something:rolleyes:
Anyways, its just really pissing me off becuase when i eventually do get a network going, it will be almost useless becuase i either wont be able to play games, or i wont be able to connect to the internet, so id like ot solve the problem before my return date is up;)
