i have aquired a U.S Robotics sureconnect ADSL Ethernet/USB router from a mate.
im having trouble with it i have tried to install it and i have established a network (i think) but the setup cant seem to find the router i have looked in the network places and it say that there is a network in place but i cant get it to connect to the internet
can anyone give me any ideas?

I don't know about DSL, but when I got my router, I had to call the ISP to tell them my new MAC address. That was for cable modem.

Good answer!

ok its sorted it was a duff router my mate got another one and that works better than a mac pc hybrid thanks for the suggestion jarg

i have a problem (i know i know thats not unusual)
the router is running very well i have tried starting a server (after all thats why i wanted a router) but it dont show up on the games list i have turned the firewall off on the router but it still wont show on the list has anyone got any ideas this is the first time i have used a router so its all new to me..........

Use the firewall first of all but open UDP ports 7777-7787 and the one port of UDP 27900. If you forward these correctly, we'll be able and you'll be able to see your server advertised. That's it.

ROFL! Herm helped me with this one for HOURS the other night. Okay, let's see how well I learned.
1. Are you sure that the routers firewall is off? If not, you can open up the ports for UT there.
2. Do you have a software firewall (Zone Alarm, Norton Internet Security)? If so, try disabling it and see if the server shows up.
3. Make sure the Advertise Server option is enabled in UT.

If you are using the default ports in UT. You need to open ports 7777-7787 in UPD mode as well as 27900 UPD.

sorry guys you will have to be a bit easyer on me

where do i find these UPD things are they in the router setup or UT?

Router setup. Should be on the same page as the ports.

Jarg is that I can put computer up as server because router?

Hmmm. I suppose it is possible. Try the steps above and see if your server shows up.

jarg this is a picture of the firewall section ?







i have looked in the setup book but it might aswell be arabic :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

sorry about the size of the picture but i dont know how to shrink it and keep the aspect ratio :roll: :roll: :roll:

one thing i have noticed is when i look on the game tabs i get my server on the lan tab and on the game settings im not set up on lan.

Sorry. I don't have a clue how that router works. I don't know any of those settings. That thing looks like the setup for a corporate firewall or something. I will not be able to assist more than I have. Please call the maker of your router and ask them. I'm sure they have the answer for you. Good luck and sorry I suck.

The second picture is where you open the ports. Try this. Open the ports in Source and Destination Ports for the ports listed above. The UDP should be under the Protocol dropdown. Also, just for securities sake. remove the first picture from the post. No need to let the world know all of this information.

I know done 2 and 3 but how u turn off router firewall off?
