Hi guys,

I have just starting playing modern warefare 2. I have the Bebox SpeedTouch 780, Software Release: 6.1.4.3. When i select "Play", on the main menu is states: Nat Type: Strict. At that point i figured that i needed to open a few ports so that i could host games. In games and application sharing i have added steam and also created a custom MW2 game with the following settings:

I have also enabled Upnp, disabled my antivirus (McAfee) and also my Windows Vista firewall.

I'm sort of at a loss as to why my NAT type is still Strict and why no one will join my hosted games.

Hopefully someone can help?
 
What i ended up doing is telnetting into my router and enabling NAT. Works 100% now. Don't actually need to forward any ports.
 
Telnet is the main way (other than SSH or console) of getting into most routers. Just that most SOHO devices like these have a web server running on them. If he "enabled NAT" to fix this then I will eat my hat.

Yeh but what do you get once youve telnetted in? Surely you will have to know the specific commands to enable/disable services on your router.

Most routers have a built in web applet, that you access via a browser?! Telnet? What!
 
I'm not sure what youre asking? Telnet allows you to run commands on the router in the same way as a web ui but with more power (mostly). It depends entirely on the router he is using too

yes you do need to know the commands, but you can get them from manuals / online etc.

it is like a command prompt.
 
Taken from bethere forum:

In Windows

Go to Start, Run and type cmd
Then type telnet 192.168.1.254 and press Enter
Enter your username and password (by default username = Administrator with a capital A and password can be found here: http://beusergroup.co.uk/technotes/index.php/Rp)
Then type the following exactly as shown below and press Enter after typing the 0

:connection bind application=CONE(UDP) port=0

Then type

:saveall to save the config changes

Type exit to quit

Go to the BeBox web interface and restart the router

Again when you have telnetted to the router (see above), type the following

:ids config state disabled -> Press Enter
:connection appconfig application=CONE(UDP) timeout=0 -> Press Enter
:saveall -> Press Enter

Go to the BeBox web interface and restart the router

Works fine for me on my Speedtouch 780
 
Well im the only one gaming on my router, I just DMZ my whole pc. Got plenty of secruity on my pc anyway, never had any problems or viruses etc. my router is pretty old and rubbish for setting up ports etc so dmz was quick and simple problem solver.
