Running Services/Port Forwarding.

Hi,
I have more problems for you to solve

I have Sky Broadband MAX with their Netgear wireless router.
I am trying to run a Call Of Duty server from my comp (i want to see how well the net performs as a server, 5meg down & 768k up).
I have gone into the router's config at 192.168.0.1, logged in, gone to 'services' and added a service called 'CoD' on ports 28960-28969.
I then went to 'Firewall Rules' and added CoD in both outbound and inbound services (Always allow). Inbound is forwarded to '192.168.0.3' which is this computers IP.
I then went to start a CoD server with the following command line : --"C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\CoDMP.exe" +set dedicated 2 +exec sgsd20 +set net_ip 'myipfromwhatismyipaddress.com' +set net_port 28960--
The console loads up but i cannot get onto the server/dont receive a response from the server at mynetip:28960.
Can anyone help me? I have never really been able to get port forwarding to work properly for me

Thanks
AMD

I have now forwarded (i think) UDP ports 28960 and 20500-20510. TCP ports 28960.
It still doesn't respond to the server query :confused:

I didn't think obout that

'silly me'
I will try running it from a local IP tomorrow and then asking someone else to join

I'll reply with the results

thanks

Nope, no one could join the server

I must be doing something wrong with the port forwarding. :confused:

Here are some Screenshots of the router's settings:

These are full size 1280x1024 images, you should be able to read everything on there

Hmm, while i was typing this 4 people joined onto my server LOL

Thanks for the help
