Title: help with gaming.
Post by: kuroisuki on February 07, 2009, 08:36:24 AM

hello , i recently bought the DIR-655.
I installed it fine and internet is working.  but when i try to play a game , It can't connect to any servers. (I'm using an wired connection)

games included ; battlefield 2 , team fortress 2 , L4D , Call of duty 4/5.

I can see the servers in the serverlist, even the ping is good for them.
But when i try to connect to them it just doesn't connect.

Can anyone help?

If you've never heard of 'port forwarding' with a router you might wanna try searching Google for that first, or consult gaming forums on the ports that need it.

Also on your Internet modem? UPnP does not work between router and modem so you need to manually set them also.

What is your router firewall setting? You may need to set it to Endpoint independent

Get a pic of your Portforwarding scheme online. If that is errored, we can spent a whole week suggesting solutions.

Otherwise try this tool: http://www.simpleportforwarding.com/

Im pretty sure its something with the router.

I directly connected my pc to my modem and everything worked.

I have Steam and some of those games on your list.
They all work fine for me without port forwarding so maybe it is the router like you wrote.
