Question about Arris WR850G Router (DHWR850G)
I used to be able to host my racing game NASCAR 2003 no problem.Started
having general internet problems with the Motorola Surfboard,so my ISP
give me a Motorola SBG940 & it solved my internet problems HOWEVER
now nobody can connect to me as I host racing tournaments with the game
NASCAR 2003.Also now my IP# in the game is differant on the multiplayer
screen.
All I want to do is turn something off temporarily while I host games so others can connect to me
.
I keep reading to turn off DMZ that being the easiest way or Port
Forward.I do not know how to do either one...PLEASE HELP!
You need to look for something on your router called Static NAT and configure it to point to your internal IP address. You also need to find out what ports your NASCAR game advertises itself on...it's usually high ports (20000-30000). ONce you find out the port(s), you can create a custom service on your router for those ports, and when you configure Static NAT, it should ask what 'service' you want to advertise. This basically tells the router to forward all inbound traffic, looking for those particular ports, directly to your IP address, which will allow users on the Internet to see your game server.
Cheers!
