Well, to be fair...[quote who="Raybi3Z" reply="11" id="2154762"]You should just be able to buy the game and bloody play it,not turn off firewalls and mess with your router setting[/quote]Forwarding a port for a game or any other application (like a bittorrent application for example, which many people use nowadays too) is nothing special, especially nowadays where everybody has a router and not just a direct connection to the internet. The problem discussed in this thread goes beyond that.</p

Reply to Running out of ideas for how to solve my connectivity problems... in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

[quote quoting="post"]*QUESTION: I may have done this wrong- which IP should I be using for the netgear's DMZ? The LAN IP of the router (eg 192.168.1.1) or the address that the Qwest Modem assigns to it (eg 192.168.0.4)? [/quote]The IP the Quest Modem assigns to it. You can also try directly connecting your PC to the Qwest Modemrouter and putting your PC into the DMZ of it. Btw. you should always enable the DMZ on the Modemrouter, if you want to manage the routing

Ah, yes, the "EU issue". I find this particular quote of frogboy very weird:[quote]Your ISP is sending your messages with different IP addresses. This is common in Europe where people have DSL lines that have multiple IP and the router picks and chooses which IP to send things.[/quote]I have never heard from this. Yes, with DSL lines you don't have a fixed IP. But your IP will stay the same during the same session, until you reconnect. I never saw anything like it. Let alone

I am lagging a bit behind in quoting :D[quote who="Zolimox" reply="5" id="2153460"]I'm going to go out on a limb. Try disabling ALL virus/antimalware programs? Are you in EU or through a university/shared network?[/quote]It definitely has something to do with my network and not with the local software. I was able to play with my laptop at home (different router and ISP) without any problems. But in my current location I can't play with my laptop either. I am in the EU,

[quote who="Zolimox" reply="3" id="2153452"]It would affect the NAT facilitator because you couldnt connect to anyone since in MY experience, i cant even get connections up with my old ISP (who was anal P2P). I'm just trying to eliminate any variables. The best thing i can say is try and get as close to the modem as you can and see what happens. If you can say no firewall, computer connected to modem that makes it most likely the ISP (or Modem). I really dont like this games MP int

My ISP is definitely not throttling p2p connections. Even if it were, this would only affect the running game and not the NAT facilitator connection and it wouldn't even be noticable there, since it doesn't require much bandwidth that would have to be throttled. My Network Setup is a Router behind a Router... the first Router has the integrated DSL Modem and forwards all ports to the second Router (hence the second Router is in the DMZ of the first Router). As already said, all ports

[quote who="chaos40" reply="15" id="2152886"] I love that we're being told to be patient. That there is an update. That, sure the game doesn't work right, but don't be b*tching on the board, 'cause that doesn't help anything. IT HELPS ME FEEL BETTER! I PAID MONEY FOR THIS GAME. IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO "KINDA, SORTA WORK". IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. PERIOD. Stop telling people to be patient. Try saying WE ARE SORRY THAT YOU'R

Reply to Open Ports [SOLVED] in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

I don't think you understand what "NAT" is. NAT is not something that is "mostly common for traffic going out from the network", nor are there specific "NAT ports" who are always open in "common routers/gateways".

Are you sure it's 1.00? Move your mouse over the lower left area (where you see "Demigod v1.00") and wait a few seconds, the tooltip will show you the full version number.

Well it turns out, that on a different internet location of mine, I have a strange problem too. Everytime I want to connect or host a game (doesn't matter if Skirmish, Pantheon or Custom), I get the message "Cannot connect to a NAT facilitator. Please try again later." The only thing I could find about this problem is this thread from the beta: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/336807 I can ping cvp1.stardock.com just fine <
