FranZ Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Hi everyone.Well... I used to play Dune 2000. Now I have it installed on a windows XP machine. This machine conects to internet by a Router DLink DI-604, and I can't play online. I go to the lobby, start/join a new game, but when I start playing it frozens. I have my machine configured DMZ in the router. I CAN play without the router, so... it's not a game problem, but router. The DMZ configuration must turn off the firewall, but i'm not shure at all. If I configure the 4000 and 1140-1234 UDP/UTP ports I can't start playing, it's frozen in the lobby.Any ideas? ;)PLEASE HELP ME.... I LOVE THIS GAME AND THE FRANK HERBERT'S BOOKS :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 If I remember corretly D-link has a special firmware if you like to play games through your router. you can download it at the website.Next to that, can you check if UPnP is enabled on your router ?

FranZ Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 Hi Gryphon:Thanks for your fast help. Well: I download the last firmware for my router, and it has an XBOX option, so I enable it thinking that this was the nearest to a "game" option. I enabled the UPnP option too. Remember that my machine is configured DMZ. But... nothing happens. I try again yesterday and nothing. I forgot to tell you, my machine is a windows XP one.It does exist a firmware with the game option, but it's only (as the website says) for the USA version of the Router (A,B,C) and I have the D version (an European version).Should I try installing the Rotorz patch?Any other idea?. Thanks a lot.FranZ :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 the strange thing is, in order to join a game you shouldn't have to forward any ports on your router.you could try the compatebilety mode in WinXP. although I wouldn't expect to much of it.

FranZ Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 Yeap: I CAN join a game, but when it starts, it freezes after 2 minutes. I actually CAN play over my LAN, both computers with Win XP, so this isn't the problem. My conextion is a 128 Kbps cable one.Thanks a lot for your suggestions... if I found out something I will post my discovery. The last thing I must try is clone the MAC of my machine into de router...Bye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRFsimmsy Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 That's the standard method for solving that problem - thanks for documenting it in detail, this thread can now be used as a reference instead of constantly regurgitating the same instructions to new players over and over again.
