Just had new router today and all ports are open for the race07 dedicated server but when i go into the game i see a ping is over 5000 but my mates can join and they see a ping on 43.

also just hosted a 'listen' server and people can join with problems

Anyone got any ideas whats going on?

If you're hosting the server then put the IP into the DMZ...

i never had to do this with my old router, guess new firmware and stuff then LOL

how do i do that with a wnr 2000 router?

would it be: Default DMZ Server ?

Reading the manual would be good...

xero01uk · 27-01-2009, 11:23

what manual it didnt come with one, hence why im here!

EDIT also when i host a listen server i can play the game with my mates and everyone is happy, but it when i host a dedicated things cockup

The IP to enter is whatever the machine IP is.

Default DMZ is my local IP ending in .3
