| [cable] Webstar dpc2100r2 Port Forwording.
For the past 2 days I have struggling to find out why I couldn't play on most of servers on Unreal Tournament 2004.I just recently found that my cable modem has an internal router of sorts.I then tried to configure the modem by visiting 192.168.100.1, but to my dismay, most of the options are unavailable, just basic information about the modem.If there's a way to configure or work around the blocked ports please let me know.Any input is appreciated.Thanks | |

Disabling the Firewall does not take it out of memory and it does not automatically open your ports, all it does it stop the warning dialogs and the learning features leaving it using only the rules it knows already.
»www.gamespyarcade.com/support/fi···ls.shtml quote: Disabling firewalls will not work
Unfortunately, in most cases, firewalls/proxies cannot simply be disabled in order to allow you to use Arcade and your game. Disabling the firewall / proxy will not open the necessary ports. It will simply shut down the firewall/proxy and leave the ports closed. Also, many factors may conflict with your firewall: Internet Connection Sharing, the use of more than one firewall, or your operating system may all cause conflicts that keep you from enjoying Arcade. To work around these issues, you will need to consult the manufacturer of your firewall/proxy.
Special notes to Windows XP users:
Windows XP has a built-in firewall. If you are using 3rd party firewalls/proxies with Windows XP, you will have to consult both the firewall/proxy developer and Microsoft to determine their compatibility with one another. You will also need to speak to your game's developer in order to determine the game's compatibility with WindowsXP, its firewall and your 3rd party firewall/proxy.

| Re: [cable] Webstar dpc2100r2 Port Forwording. Since you have a Public IP on your PC and are directly connected to a Cable Modem that has no way to block ports so, that leaves only your PC that is blocking the incoming connections. UT 2004 requires a lot of opened ports, it is not one or two ports.
The DPC2100R2 is a Bridge Cable Modem which is confirmed here also:
»forum.portforward.com/YaBB.cgi?n···28796581
With Commodo, you must follow the steps here and Unreal Tournament 2004 requires you to forward the 7777-7788,27900,42292 ports (yes, 7777-7788,27900,42292).
»portforward.com/english/routers/···04In.htm
Then make sure that XPs or Vista's default Firewall is off on all the LAN Interfaces as it is turned on by Default and likes to turn itself back on all by itself with no warning. I've even had to temporarily shut down the process ALG.EXE under Task Manager to get it to stop blocking.
Enjoy! -- Whats the point of owning a supercar if you cant scare yourself stupid from time to time? | |

1 edit | Maybe I read the directions wrong for Comodo,the directions listed are for an older version of the firewall.I'll try again.
Edit-I am pretty sure that my ISP is blocking the ports.I uninstalled Comodo, disabled XP's firewall and tested the ports and they were still closed.If there's a better way test ports please let me know. | |

| I found this. ServerBehindNAT=False If server is running behind a firewall that performs network address translation, this value must be set to True or your server will appear in the Internet server browser with a ping of N/A.
Does this mean that the problem is on there end? | |

I test the port by opening the application, and test the the ports at »whatsmyip.org/ports.I tested it with Utorrent and it works.Comodo won't open that port until I open Utorrent.So i do the same thing with Unreal 2004, but it doesn't show the port open.
Edit-I used some of the suspected blocked ports for my Utorrent port, and the test said it was open, so the ports aren't blocked by my ISP or modem.It seems that the servers are have not set ServerBehindNAT= to true. | |

| I am not trying to make a server, I'm just trying to play.In the picture notice that almost all of the UT2004 Servers are N/A.That's the problem I'm having.I forwarded all the ports allowed echo request and it still does this. | |
