[{D~S}Reaper]

Hello..
        I am here to day to ask for your help with hosting a Hidden & Dangerous 2 Sabre Squadron server
i have a router (Nergear wireless ADSL firewall Router DG834G). i have opened many ports [u](look at list) [/u]

1. 11000 to 11100 - UDP
2. 2302 to 2400 - TCP/UDP
3. 6073 - UDP
4. 27900 to 28900

i can see my server in the list but i can not join it and no other players can join it. i can not join it tho LAN. I also tryed to DMZ it but i dont know how it works so i truned it off.

also i can host on other games like steam games about not h&d is it just me or is it the game ??

I've had this to ... its probably because you're behind a router. Do the following and it will not crash anymore.

You have to make sure that your internal ip is a static ip adress and not one assigned by the dhcp from the router. Else hidden and dangerous 2 cant know for sure which ip-adress is used(it must be some bug in the software i guess.. it can only handle a static one not a assigned one). I dont know if the bug is router type dependent, but i got it working with my linksys wireless router by doing this:

To setup an static internal ip in XP:

Setting Up a Static IP in Windows XP

  1. Go to Start > Run and type in: cmd to open a command prompt.
  2. Type into the command prompt: ipconfig/all.
      You will see something similar to this:

      Windows IP Configuration

      Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : MYCOMP
      Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :
      Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown
      IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
      WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No

      Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

      Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
      Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
      Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-80-F6-6A-21-E0
      Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
      IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.100
      Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
      Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
      DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
      xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
      NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Disabled
 
3. Copy down:
          * IP address
          * Subnet mask
          * Default gateway
          * DNS Servers
  4. Right-click on My network places and go to Properties.
  5. Right-click on Local Area Connection and go to Properties.
  6. Select Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) and click on the Properties button.
  7. Select the "Use the following IP address" option and fill in the fields with the respective information you copied out of your IPConfig.
  8. Click OK and exit the network connection page.

Test your internet connection to ensure that you are still able to access the internet. If not, you probably mistyped one of the fields from the IPconfig. Double-check their values. If you need to get back to the internet immediately, you can do so by going back to your TCP/IP properties and selecting Obtain an IP address automatically.

Dont forget to forward the ports for hidden and dangerous on your router. (11001 tcp / 1004 tcp)

good luck,
