Posted: Mon Aug 21, 2006 1:41 am
just to bring you up todate i org posted i could not get hd 2 server working in windows...
i tried various port settings also loads diff router settings all to no avail..at best my server would show up but no one could connect
my next test as i have a second machine running Ubuntu linux was to try using wine and get it working with that well that resulted in server loading but then crashing to desktop...
so this weekend i thought 1 final test...this was to completly do away with router and to transfer the internet gate way to the linux machine.this involved writing a script for a frog adsl modem to work under linux...well after a few hours we suceeded and all windows machine worked via lan to linux gateway..then we installed firestarter for ubuntu and entered the ports for hd 2 11001>11004 plus 2 game spy ports started a hd 2 sabre squadron server on my windows machine and bingo people started joining within a few mins...
ok you may all say its my router thats duff but i have tried 3 diff routers with same results..and i know looking on these forums and the help given ive not been on my own with this problem...so if anyone fancys a game to test server one night let me know...
cheers all for your help got there in the end...
