Internet Connection Issue

[boerseun_57]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to play BF2 online at work, but here's the problem. Our server is connected to the net using dsl and all the workstations are using the server to connect to the internet including the workstation I want to play on. The server has ZoneAlarm installed as a firewall. I would like to know if it is at all possible to play BF2 with this setup, and if so, could someone please help me in configuring the server/firewall to do this.

Thanks guys, appreciate the help.

Re: Internet Connection Issue

This will be very hard. First of all, DSL is slower than Cable, and I have problems playing BF2 on cable just behind a normal windows firewall. Secondly, your company probably has Admin rights to the network, which you may not have. That will make it harder to work around this. Also, with all of this activity going on on your network (Other employees utilizing the network on DSL at the same time), it will be almost impossible to play on a 64 player server, and if I am right, a 32 player server is MAYBE your only good bet.

Unless your the boss of this company then what your really looking for is a good way to get fired.... If you install the game on a work pc thats networked then any admin of your network can see it...But if this is something thats ok with your employer then the easiest way to do it would be to install it on the server, set it up to host, and then install it on your own pc, then you would have the total package. Work + bf2=productitivity. Cant beat that. As for as the firewall goes i use ZoneAlarm and i dont have any problems. There was nothing to configure with my firewall. Your problem will be with the server and your computer since most business pc's that are networked dont have admin priviliges. You may not even be able to install the game......

Good Luck
