Age of Empires Direct IP Problem

Tell your friend to connect to you 72 address the modem forwards everything to the 192 address
thats the difference betwen a public and local ip... publis work outside, local works inside..

OK, but your on the router now right? When your on the router... put your local ip in the dmz... Then make sure all your firewalls and antivirus (especially norton) are off...
 
ok, i just tried it again...both of us on routers... both enabled DMZ and we tried and still the same result
 
Is there anyone else that you can test it out with to see if the problem is with you or your friends comp?
 
GEOFF! you dont set up DMZ on your modem.... It is a router thing.

Ask your friend if he has firewalls installed or norton! This can block it aswell...
 
ok, i will install the game on my brothers computer and attempt to make all the changes that were stated..soooooo..

If i have a Modem, what changes can i make?

If i have a Router, I can change DMZ but what else?

I can setup DMZ on my modem...

As trizoy said, make sure a firewall such as norton or windows firewall isnt blocking your from playing.

Is your modem a modem/router?

If it is only a modem.. there IS NOT a firewall...
A modem only connects you to the internet.

If you connect directly to the modem (from PC) then you do not need to enable DMZ, no port forwarding. Make sure all firewall software, and antivirus is off.

If you use the router connection. You can either enable the dmz for your specific local ip (192.168.2.XX). OR You can forward the required port which the game uses. The game shoudl tell you this port by saying connecting server 79.123.42.4:16759 the 16759 is the port. Foward that port, to your local ip.

I would go with the dmz. But make sure when your done you take it out of dmz, as your not protected.
 
My modem is only a modem (Has 1 ethernet and 1 usb), it has a NAT Firewall built in, along with DMZ and Port Forwarding. I also have a Belkin wireless router, but im not connected to that.
 
Well it is not just a modem then. You have a modem with extra features like a NAT firewall andmz port forwarding. If you did not have the firewall on theire you would not need the dmz or prot forwarding... WOW 3 Extra features! ;)
 
I just tried to Direct IP once more, this time both of us had DMZ enabled and all of our firewalls were off. Still no luck:confused:

more than 3 :P

And as i said before, this is just a modem with only 2 ports (1 ethernet and 1 usb), even though the setup looks just like a router. I wonder if it could be that they use the same firmware for their modems and their modem/routers...
