Duke3D Multiplayer issues?

Return to forum index

  Another help me question.
  
  I have successfully ran a multiplayer game using Duke3D across a LAN.  The commands I used were
  
  Host: duke3d /net /n0:2
  Slave: duke3d /net/ n0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
  
  which worked fine, no problems.
  
  However when I attempt the same method over the internet, both PCs load the Duke Startup and hang there "Waiting for Players"
  
  I've attempted using different ports, adding Firewall exceptions, however, one PC has a broadband connection using a Netopia 2241N-VGx router and I am uncertain how to make an exception on this hardware.
  
  Any suggestions?

  Re: Duke3D Multiplayer issues?

  I am wondering if the network setup is causing this problem?
  
  The host PC currently is part of a network that looks like this:
  
                          ISP
                            |
                          Router
                        /        \
                    PCs        Wireless Router
                                    |            \
                                  Host PC      PCs
  
  I've been using www.whatismyip.com to determine my Host PC's external IP, and when I've done the same for other PCs, they're the same, and they're the same as our ISP Customer IP.
