and When I try to connect by IP it does this over and over...

I've done something similar. The thing is some linksys routers won't forward a port from the internal interface directed at the external IP back to your server.
Manually join it using the internal IP and you'll be able to play. It won't show in the server browser for you or anyone else behind "rtr2" but it will for everyone else.

edit: it might be useful to run "tracert www.dpball.com" from your computer and then another not behind router 2 then post the results.
The first 2 or 3 hops would help illustrate the what's actually connected to what.

if you want to see your own server try clicking the "refresh" button before the "update" button should appear at the top

Yes I have admin and pass to both routers. I know how to port forward and I have done it correctly. I just hadn't set the port for the server...

I will try that but I'm not at home right now and I'll get back to you with the results...

I did a tracert to www.dplogin.com Here is the results:

what results?

KnacK · « **Reply #48 on:** April 14, 2008, 07:55:42 PM »

what does that have to do with setting the port on the server or the routers?

I read one of the posts out of order and thought you still wanted equipment IP's in which case the first two hops would show the router IPs ... but from the wrong direction unfortunately. Oops.

KnacK · « **Reply #50 on:** April 14, 2008, 08:23:49 PM »

since 192.168.2.1 is your internet router, you need to port forward the first router 27910 to 192.168.1.1

On the second router, port forward 27910 to the ip address of your server.

Somehow I doubt there's a route from 192.168.2.0 to 192.168.1.0 subnet because of the NAT. They'll need WAN IP of the router at 192.168.1.1 which will be something like 192.168.2.xxx

but then....

I'm curious what's the current status if you think you have the port forwarding correct and now the server set to the right port.

Code: [Select]

Internet -> public side router 2 -|- private side router 2 ( 192.168.2.1) -> wan side R2 -|-192.168.1.1 -> ip of server
                                 NAT 27910 to 192.168.1.1                                               NAT 27910 to IP of server

You told me to run tracert command in cmd for www.dplogin.com Those were the results.

192.168.1.1 is my internet router. 192.168.2.1 is connected to 192.168.1.1 but whatever I'll just flip what you told me to do.

ExtremeGamer321 · « **Reply #55 on:** April 15, 2008, 06:35:23 AM »

Ok this is what the port forwarding page entries look like:

You can't change the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, entries of the IP only the 4th so I can't forward to the IP of rouer one which is 192.168.1.1

KnacK · « **Reply #56 on:** April 15, 2008, 06:51:09 AM »

If that is the page for the internet router, then that is correct.

On teh second router, enter the same but make the ip address the ip of your server.

ExtremeGamer321 · « **Reply #57 on:** April 15, 2008, 07:11:08 AM »

No thats router 2. It doesn't give you the option to change anything but the last three numbers of the IP.

KnacK · « **Reply #58 on:** April 15, 2008, 07:58:59 AM »

post a screenshot of the NAT page for the other router.

ANswer the following:

Router 1 WAN IP address
Router 2 WAN IP address
Address of server on YOUR network.

ExtremeGamer321 · « **Reply #59 on:** April 15, 2008, 08:34:19 AM »

What exactly is the WAN IP address? And as for the server address it's just my external IP... 76.4.68.110:27910
