i understand it may be that for 1.3, however 17770-17772 infact has previously worked for me in 1.2.

My computer's router is too fussy... when i use my good computer, which i normally dont, but when i do, i have to turn on DMZ in the router else i cant host no matter what. maybe trying this would work for you if everything else fails

is dmz the firewall thing in the router? isnt it really dangerous to turn it off?

{bac}Zero Angel · Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 12:14 pm Post subject:

A router *IS* a firewall (mostly). What DMZ does, is it turns off all firewalling features for a single computer on the network, its equivalent to forwarding ALL ports for that computer.

The good: Games and apps that were getting blocked before now work.
The bad: The router is no longer protecting the computer that is in the DMZ. Its recommended that the DMZ computer at least have a good quality software firewall running.

Yea thats all correct, dmz is a last resort feature. Its sorta like having a direct connection without the router...

As for me its my only choice on one of my computers... i have 5... and my nicest newest computer will not... no matter what i do... it will not host a bz2 game without dmz turned off in router... the rest will work no problem and they all have the same exact settings which annoys me.
