Port Forward Complete Guide

[AaronCooper]

Ok, i've seen a lot of people moaning about 999 NAT Pings, or that they get NAT config when playing against another person on the same network. So here it is..

Step One - Accessing your router

Open up Internet Explorer, and in the Url bar type ''192.168.1.1'' then a login box should appear :



The default password for most router's will be :

Username : admin
Password : admin

If this don't work, try finding the book/disk you get with your router/hub and the default login should be written somewhere in there.

Step Two - Finding your LAN IP

In the bottom of your desktop there should be a active internet connection icon, right click it, status, Support, Ip Address : 192.168.x.x



If there is no icon try, Start, Control panel, Network connections, right click, status, Support, Ip Address : 192.168.x.x

Now we should have your LAN IP and be logged into your router/hub.

Step Three - Port Forwarding

Look for Port Range Forwarding normally found under firewall, security or Applications & Gaming. If you can't find it, go to here, find your router model, then click GunZ, and scan the page to find out where it should say to click to get to the port forwarding page.

Name : GunZ01 (can be anything though)
start : 7700
End : 7800
Protocol : Both (UDP + TCP)
IP Address : Your LAN IP you collected in Step Two
Enable/On : Always / Yes

Step Four - Testing

Your internet should have disconnected for a split section for enable the opening of the ports. Load GunZ up and see if you have agent error (999) to everyone. You shouldn't have, also anyone with NAT error (have to relogin after each game or going afk for 3 mins), wait a while in your clan channel, then enter a game and check you havn't got NAT...

________________________________________________
Playing GunZ on a LAN Connection
________________________________________________

Follow the steps above with your computer making sure you do everything correctly.

So you have have the follow, example :

Name : GunZ01
start : 7700
End : 7800
Protocol : Both (UDP + TCP)
IP Address : 192.168.1.101
Enable/On : Always / Yes

Now, on your second computer do this :

Start, My Computer, C:\ijji\ENGLISH\Gunz\Config.xml - Open with notepad.

Scroll down and look towards the bottom of the text, you should see the following :

	<ETC>
		<NETWORKPORT1>7700</NETWORKPORT1>
		<NETWORKPORT2>7800</NETWORKPORT2>

You need to edit the 7700, 7800 into 7600, 7699 so it looks like this :

	<ETC>
		<NETWORKPORT1>7600</NETWORKPORT1>
		<NETWORKPORT2>7699</NETWORKPORT2>

Once you have done that, Save the file and start from part one of my tutorital, except using numbers 7600-7699 instead of 7700-7800.

His port forward should look something like this :

Name : GunZ01
start : 7600
End : 7699
Protocol : Both (UDP + TCP)
IP Address : 192.168.1.104
Enable/On : Always / Yes

Now both login to GunZ create a game, and hopefully you should have 0-10 ping

i hope this thread helps everyone, and i will be giving support to those who post on this thread. Remember, this may take some time at first but it's worth every second.

Also, last thing you would like to know..

THIS DOES NOT GIVE YOU A STATIC IP

So what i'm basically saying is, if you ever restart your router, your LAN IP's will change, so you will have to update 192.168.x.x when you restart it. I don't have this problem, because i don't restart my router

Thanks for your time,

It does work, i use it with my 2 other brothers and i've helped someone on msn do it, the only problem is all routers have differant webpages, and they may be worded differently...

I'm going bed, i will check this thread in the morning,
Bye!

[Knossos]

Yea, I did it but this explains alot more .
I was the original guy who sent 4-5 PM's with this and also told a guy to pm you about it
Thank me for your insane madness.

It's not the same ip for everyone, but you can actually login from your actual ip.. > IP Chicken - What is my IP? Find Your IP Address! > enter that into your browser > login

Actually no... your router's ip and your modem's ip is NOT the same thing. Default router IP is in fact 192.168.1.1 or 0.0, i forgot

[Roachpiece]

how do i find my routers i.p.?
