Okay, so, I've got a ZyXEL Prestige 660H (I believe it's also -61S) router.

Problem is, for trying a billion times, trying all different methods and opening the ports 10052-10054 both TCP/UDP in WAN to LAN, LAN to WAN, everything, I still get timeout and my server pings.

So I tried their support site, and the guide it directed me too, no luck there either.
So now I ask of you if there's any hope for me out there!

I have a slight memory of someone opening over a thousand ports somewhere and it worked, but I don't know...

I think it was the 2000-3000 range. or 4000. Something like that.

I used to think my router was the problem, but after discovering that my router had an IP Passthrough feature, enabling that made the game work. You might want to check if your modem has a similar feature, since then the game has been working properly.

I am having the same problem. I wish you much luck in solving this, Olsen.

Ouch, probably a problem with ZyXEL routers then.

Well, my router is a different make/model/etc. It's a D-link DI-524. However, it's the exact same problem.

Ah, okay. Well, it seems the problem is unsolveable.. I forwarded the SUA NAT ports 10052-10054 and the firewall does the same, windows firewall turned off, still nothing. Bleh.

And yeah, I tried the thousand port thingy, didn't work either. :´/

That router has a failure, just like (as far as I know) one Linksys router with an old firmware.

I have one unlucky, I hate it. the only solution is using the first rule called Default and put the IP address of the computer you want to play with.

It works that way.
