I Can't Host In TCP/IP
Each time I try to host a server, no one can see it even if I give them my IP.
I'm behind a 192.168.X.X if that makes any difference. I give the people that I'm playing against my IP (the one behind 192.168.X.X).
Any ideas?

Actually both. I got out the dedi server to see if I could find myself. Didn't work until I just tried the LAN IP. My WAN IP didn't come up though. So all I can really do is host a LAN.
BTW searching the forums didn't really work. But I tried changing the port number in the Misc. tab in startup.

I just took a look in the Descent 3 manual and it said to run NETTEST.EXE. Well, I did and it came up with:
"The firewall/proxy is not correctly configured for port 2092.
NOTE: It is also possible that the echo server is down, or there is an Internet related problem."
...This is leading me to think that the gateway firewall is screwing things up. *sigh* I don't want to mess with that thing... Oh well... I'll see if it will work.

Didn't work. [BIG surprise] At least I know to use port 2093 now.
We'll piece it all together. (...and still fail. :P)

I have an idea. Before when I used -useip, it the "tcp/ip is not active on your system." message. Perhaps this may shed a little light on the situation.
If we can get past that, it may just be a way past all this trouble.

OK inside the router you need to be forwarding ports
2092-2092 to your gaming machine ip (no need to put -useport 2092 in your misc section of D3, 2092 is default)
2093-2093 to your server box, then add -useport 2093 to the misc section of d3 setup
If you are using DE-Hunters server tool to make configs for the server box, then use the config button for server #2 (already uses 2093 as the server port) NO BRAINER
If fo any reason during the time when PXO was up you never could connect to the server (was seen was joining but timed out) then you need to set static ip's on your machines instead of dynamic

Hmm... I thought someone said that dynamic doesn't matter... Maybe not afterall. ...I'll go see what I can do.BUBBALOU wrote:If fo any reason during the time when PXO was up you never could connect to the server (was seen was joining but timed out) then you need to set static ip's on your machines instead of dynamic
