Ive recentley purchased a Linksys router. I set it up and got it running perfect with my other computer running fine also. Everything seemed to be going fine, still fast connections on both computers and i am very pleased with it.

But i ran into a problem with online games, Steam products in particular ( counterstrike, Day of defeat etc). I go to join a server and i join fine with good rates, but out of nowere within 30 seconds i am booted back to the main menu. Now i cannot figure out the problem, ive forwarded ports 1200,27000-27015,27020-27039 and enabled Protocol TCP and Protocol UDP but with no ip adress.

now im not sure if you guys now what im referring to so here is the page i got most of my info off of

http://www.portforward.com/english/r...ter_Strike.htm

Hopefullly some of you guys are familiar with the linksys router, i am in a sticky situation and miss playing counterstrike

Also with regards to the page i linked to, i never followed the first step as to creating a static ip, i am not sure as to what this will do, will i have to set up one for my other comp? should i follow this first step if i want the port forwarding to work, i never thought it would matter

Thanks for your help

I have the SAME EXACT router. V2 and everything. Try setting up a static IP address, then forwarding the ports to that specific static address only. This fixed my azureus problems. (It didn't work not forwarding it to any IP, but static worked) Saw the green face for the first time in azureus, brought tears to my eyes.
