Ryzom - View Single Post - [FAQ] LinkSys Fixes (Another Solution for 10 Minute Disconnects)

I realize its not exactly prompt but i need to apologize for my harsh words earlier. I'm quite capable of setting up port triggering, the old firmware had an option under port-forwarding to specify udp traffic which did work.

So after downgrading to my original firmware I had a good firewall again but still couldn't play Ryzom without forwarding ports. I didn't like the idea of opening a range of ports 24/7 so I put an old switch between the dsl modem and linksys router. Whenever I want to play Ryzom I just plug the windows box into the switch and do an "ipconfig /release" and then "ipconfig /renew".

This setup still has a problem though. The windows box will take the isp issued ip address the router was using so no other machines on that connection can use the internet.

Anyway I just felt I owed the programmers an apology. They've done a fine job with Ryzom, Linksys is just completely lacking when it comes to passing udp through their firewalls.
