Title: Gamespy problem with SFC games
Post by: {UFP}Defiant on August 22, 2008, 02:02:59 am

I am having problems playing SFC 3 and SFC2 and OP on gamespy or full stop. My router has a different IP than my computer, can’t seem to work out what is wrong.
   
Any help would be grateful, thanks

Set your router to DMZ mode, or manually configure your ports in your router for Gamespy Arcade and SFC.

To manually configure ports

If you are behind a router you will need to forward ports 2300-2400 TCP&UDP and 47624 TCP to login. (allow pings from the WAN) Port forwarding applies to a static LAN config. The following site may be of assistance in this: http://www.portforward.com/

Some ADSL and cable modems have router capabilites in them that the ISP does not tell you about and often poorly understand themselves.

Understand what a private IP address is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_IP_address

Determine if you have one: "ipconfig /all" at the command prompt on WinXP/NT or Start..Run.."winipcfg" on Win9x.


You will have to check the Gamespy Arcade web site in their help section on Firewall/Routers to find which ports to open for their service.

I thought another forum was responsible for Gamespy issues as they are being hosted by them as it does say Dynaverse up there which is about the Dyna. ;)
