Voltageman Posted December 19, 2005 CID Share Posted December 19, 2005 And if all else fails, you can put your PC in the DMZ of your router, which I have to do to play battlefield 2 without having my VOIP drop out..(my router won't allow enough ports to be forwarded in BF2..)...It will leave you open, so you must have a firewall running(you basically lose the real protection from the router).

FallowEarth Posted December 19, 2005 CID Share Posted December 19, 2005 DMZ = De-Militarized Zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltageman Posted December 19, 2005 CID Share Posted December 19, 2005 Yeah its kinda funny, to play Battlefield 2 with my router, I must be in the De-Militarized Zone...Kinda ironic huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan314 Posted December 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 19, 2005 My dmz for some reason isnt working...i entered my ip of the comp... put it on enabled.. clicked accept.. then when the page refreshed it said dmz disabled... wtf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltageman Posted December 19, 2005 CID Share Posted December 19, 2005 On one of my routers, the #4 port was for the DMZ...try plugging the network cable into the #4 slot on the router, and then make sure your network IP is correct...Then try to enable it..
