using a router?

erm, i have the 2 pc's connected to the modem throug a box..i guess that is a router...or?

Ye thats a router, go into the settings if you can and look for DMZ chage the last set of numbers to your PC`s IP address

ie. 192.168.0.63 (thats mine).

Then untick the box that says default Dmz, click apply and restart router. IF it doesnt connect just undo the changes.

Changing the DMZ worked for me (Doper ISK) told me bout it.

i tink disabling DMZ effectivley shuts the firewall, so be sure to reactivate it when you finish gaming

i cant find the dmz settings , i dont really now where too look, i tryed to look in network cofiguration, but i didnt find enythingh...

edit : i can find some DNS stuff in networkconfiguration

u will need to access the router though internet explorer via ip address.

it could be someting like 192.169.0.1 but it will be in your router manual. if you know what make your router is then you can find it ip out off the net.

erm..what????

lol, but i really dont get it....i have no manual for the router (its a Level one product), i went to there homepage http://www.level-one.de/products3.php?sklop=2&id=520118

but i dont know how to get a ip to it....and how do i connect to my router though explore?

[Steve]

level-one make roughly 23 routers :/ so this might be tricky if you cant find your manual or the exact model.


however try the following ip's in IE, until one pops up an admin panel for your router

http://192.168.0.1
http://192.168.1.1
http://192.168.2.1
