This is driving me insane and by now I dont even have to get in the car to go there.

I'm tring to host a Q3 mod(Urban Terror) through a DI-604 router and have had no luck and no help from customer service. I,ve tried the port forwarding and the DMZ with no luck,but of course, when I connect directly to the cable modem the game works flawlessly. I am obviously doing something wrong. The error message I get from the game server is a can't open port message. I used the set net_ip command to set the wan ip as provided by my isp in the command line.

If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate them.

Alan (frustrated gamer)

you set dmz or port forwarding, not both

I got this off D-Link support, its for counterstrick but setup should be the same. Just change ports etc for your game..technical support sites are real handy ;)

How can I play Counter Strike through my D-Link Router?

For normal play, Counter Strike will work without any special configuration. If you are hosting a game or running a server behind your D-Link router, you must open ports 27005 and 27015. To open ports, you will need to find the IP address of your computer.

Steam users read here.

How do I find the IP address of my computer?

To open ports on your DI-514, 604, 614+, 624, 754, 764, 774:

Step 1 Open your web browser and enter the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1).

Step 2 Enter username (admin) and your password (blank by default).

Step 3 Click on Advanced and then click Virtual Server on the left side.

Step 4 Create a new entry:
Click Enabled
Enter a name (counterstrike1)
Next to Private IP, enter the IP address of the computer you are running Counter-Strike. The example shows 192.168.0.100.
Select UDP for Protocol Type
Enter 27005 for both Private and Public Port
Click on Always or set a schedule
Click Apply and then Continue to save settings.
Repeat the steps above to create a second entry. Name it counterstrike2 and enter port 27015 (UDP).
