Default Re: A question about routers

Anyhow, all should be done and the game ready for playing, but I can't find the character when I connect to their server and try to select the character. I read that theres been similar problems in the past, but I don't think they figured out what was the problem. They speculated some, but nothing concrete.

My thoughts on the matter are that if my router blocks the ports that the game is supposed to be using, then perhaps that would have the effect? And if that's the case, then perhaps forwarding those ports would be the answer? At this point you may be wondering why I just don't try it out for myself, and the answer to that is I can't get on the router configuration page for some reason...to my knowledge, all it's supposed to take is typing your static IP address into the browser of IE or such, and then it should pop up. No such luck for me, which is odd, because I definately remember getting to the panel before. Hopefully I didn't make it self-destruct last time

Anyhow, thoughts and help on the matter would be greatly appreciated!


Yours,

Raistlin.
