Port Forwarding Nightmare

[Swanston]

At first in my port forwarding setup I had unlocked all the ports mentioned in the manual. I could still not start a dedicated server and have people join.

Then I tryed this...



And it still didn't work... I nearly lost my mind cursing because it made no sense . I unlocked every single damn port for both 'BF2' and 'BF2_w32ded'.

What the heck am I doing wrong? I checked allow NAT negotiation and still no luck.

Re: Port Forwarding Nightmare

you could try dmz so you basically bypass all firewall, but after each game you would have to disable it to be protected again.

Re: Port Forwarding Nightmare

Are you sure the ports are opened in your firewall too?

Ah nm thanks to the Battlefield Podcast, it lead me to this site. I adjusted my ports to look like this...



And now it works perfectly !
