Iv,e ask the rest now i'll ask the best. which ports need to be opened to host df land warrior? and should i repair my actiontec router by sticking it under one of the 35 inch tires of my 4 wheel drive chevy truck or should i just use a sledg-hammer. ive tryed their $30.00 a call support line, paid by qwest. and the $30.00 anwser to the $30.00 question was SOMETIMES IT DONT WORK. im going to get my 7 year old grandson a job application as an actiontec support professional. great pay and a title.

Question:
I use a router to when connecting to the Internet, why can't I host or connect into the Novaworld games?

Answer:
DSL/Cable Routers (NAT being Network Address Translation devices like cable/dl routers. Some firewalls act like NAT devices too.) take the IP address given you by your ISP and split it into mutiple addresses on the subnet of your LAN.

To connect to Novaworld each computer joining MUST have its own distinct IP address. This is the address that your ISP gave you and not the one on the subnet of the router.

If you are hosting a game from behind a router you will need to set the outbound port, or trigger and the incoming port the same as the firewall ports for the game.

You can play behind a NAT device. But you CAN NOT have multiple clients behind a single NAT device because of the requirement that each computer connecting must have its on distinct IP address.

You will need to contact the manufacture of the router for assistance on how to accomplish the set up. We do not supply support for the router.

ip address? sorry don't know that

actiontec is the maker of the router i've not only opened ports i've opened dmz hosting which is supposed to open all ports but on a open port test it says my ports are all closed. but like i said when 1 of the routers support pros tells ya "sometimes it dont work" that's some kind of support. i got a call back from qwest suprise suprise im in shock i told them if i were them i wouldnt pay actiontec a dime. you can't rip the ripper.mabey a fire ax would open those ports
