Post subject: Port forwarding for Belkin

Hey, does anyone know (or can make) a step by step guide on this Belkin router on forwarding ports please? I need it for Continuum. I've tried it many times before using different guides, but they don't work.

Has anyone port forwarded successfully with Belkin?

Okay, but now I can't find Continuum/Subspace on the list for port forwarding.

Thats because you pick the ports. To connect to a zone, you don't need for forward anything. To have someone connect to your zone, you need to look at the server.ini file, under [Misc] there is a Port=##. You need to forward both that port and the port above that.

Example.

Code: Show/Hide

server.ini
[Misc]
Port=5000

On your router, you will have:

Code: Show/Hide

UDP Port 5000 to 192.168.0.100
UDP Port 5001 to 192.168.0.100

IP and such are whatever you need for your router. Some routers do port ranges, so you'd have 5000-5001 forwarded.

Hmm, I tried that:

Code: Show/Hide

server.ini
[Misc]
Port=7000

Router options: (Belkin port forwarding setup looks like this:

Code: Show/Hide

Enable Description Inbound port Type Private IP address
(tick) subgame2.exe 7000 ~ 7001 UDP 192.168.2.1

Private port
7000 ~ 7001

Still no luck.
I even tried turning DMZ on to see what would happen then, didn't port forward (Because you obviously don't need to) and it STILL didn't work.

You can't tell if port forwarding is working by looking at the ping/player count in cont. You need to get someone else to try and connect.

I've tried to get someone to connect. It was still red.
