Cable Problems

OK Well I've got the router DMZ set, I've set the port thing, and I've got the router host patch but I still can't host a game. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

Even with the Natfix, its not guaranteed to work for everyone.

Speaking of the natfix (I know I mentioned it but I'd forgotten this until now) the autodetect doesn't work.

I have dynamic IP on the modem side, never seen it change yet though, and I can set up the LAN side for either dynamic or static. I have a static set that I plan to use for hosting. Ideas?

Autodetect doesn't work because PHP is down (the autodetect is serverside).

Did you apply your static (external IP) in the Nat Fix (without using auto-detect)?

Yeap. I tried joining a game last night and couldn't do that either. Come to think of it I might've still had the natfix in place....Would that stop me from joining?

It shouldn't, it only modifies what outpost 2 detects as your external IP (which is detected as internal, it dosn't take into account routers)   As far as I know, it has nothing to do with joining...   Though, if it does, it would mean you entered the IP incorrectly...
