Hey guys eva since the update i have had a problem hosting and my Ports are forwarded and everything.

This is what happends I set up a game everybodys ready, i start up a map the game goes in fine.

it detects everybody names go green then the game starts then about 5 seconds later it starts saying everyone has lost synk then it says lost connection to who evas in the game.

I go out of the game all the players say it didnt work and they couldnt get in,
but the funny thing is it detected everyone and the game starts then starts saying it lost synk then it says they left.

Am i doing something wrong or have i missed something???

I was in one of the games he is talking about. From the client side, it looks exactly like it does when someone has not forwarded their ports. But Deathknight has forwarded ports, so it is very strange

I tried reinstalling the game and i double cheeked my ports but the results are still the same.

Any ideas anyone?

Check if your roughter has changed your internal IP adress. Some roughters don't assign static IPs to thier client PCs by default, so you will have correctly forwarded your port for your computers internal adress; then the next time you reset your computer your internal adress is arbitrairly changed, and the PC your port is forwarded to is no longer findable by the roughter because it changed the adress.

[edit]On my roughter the information is listed in the DHCP client list.

Hello, i have the same problem .. to see your local IP you use "ipconfig" right ?
cause i forwarded the ports to that IP ... and it doesn't work

btw, what does "Windows Networking (NetBIOS over TCP/IP)" mean ?

Yes, ipconfig
