Can Someone Help Me Setup My Router To Properly Use Game Fuel

I Already Know These Game Facts :

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 can be found below:

TCP outgoing

    80
    18390
    18395
    13505

UDP outgoing

    18395
    10000

And My PC IP Is 192.168.0.196

Might try looking at the gaming and game fuel sticky and see if you can get it set up. Maybe someone can teamviewer.com with you and help you out.

[Hard Harry]

I assume you have the PC version so use  this.

Your going to want to set a DHCP reservation for your PC as well. Last, check your firewall settings. To check if you have a certian port opening, start the game and run this.

What furry said, just don't forget to pull the battery out of the modem if it has one when you reset it.

[Hard Harry]

Well if the modem has a battery, then it's a phone modem combo, and could be a gateway with a router. So take note of that.

[XS]

Is having a combo a bad thing?  I have a Cisco DPQ-3212 installed (DOCSIS 3.0).

[FurryNutz]

Not necessarily a bad thing however some combo units are made well, don't have good features like external routers and can cause connection issues for applications and gaming. Also why have unnecessary or additional network processing by another router, might slow things down some. I think combo units are good for avg. home users who don't need or do alot of specialized applications or gaming.

[XS]

Ok, Its not a router/modem combo, it is just a phone/modem combo.  Hopefully its good for XBL whne teamed up the the DGL-4500.

[FurryNutz]

I recommend the Motorola SB 6120 stand alone modem if you can do that. Understand that some people do the phone thing so you do have to have ISP HW for that.

[Hard Harry]

Well it's not that it's bad, its just troublesome. That happens to be the best phone modem (EMTA in the biz) I have seen out there, with the gateway not locked down. Also it has 8 channels down, and since it's only put in during proffesional phone installs, the signal specs are usually pretty tight(good).

Where they become a pain is in troubleshooting. If you call for support, you have to call from a phone other then your house phone, and if you want to reset it, you need to use a paper clip. Also, since the modem needs to be near your router, the phone part of it can't be in your basement, which is best. Thats because that is usually where your phone punchblock(think circuit breaker for telephone) and its better to have your phone modem connected directly to it. On the other hand, it's one less splitter you need in your set up, since you don't need to split the coax between a phone modem and internet modem. So its a double edge sword.

[XS]

Wow, thanks Harry, I was wondering why I can't find too much info on the unit by just googling DPQ-3212. My house has structured wiring so all my coax and CAT5e runs go to and from one panel in my laundry room.  The cable tech installed the modem in there and plugged into one of my terminal blocks that go back to my entertainment center and router.

Anyway is it a problem to have this modem installed in a panel with little to no air flow?

so after setting up the "gaming rule" how do your setup the actual "gamefuel" tab?

Name: what ever you call your PC
Priority: 1 (I have a playstation that is set to "2" currently)
Protocal (correct if wrong)should read  "257" and "both" (for tcp and udp)
local IP range +my PC static IP in both fields right?
the rest I am lost ...
what would go into....
local port range:?     my guess (80 to 18395)
remote IP range:?     my guess (0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255)
remote port range:?    my guess (80 to 18395)

BC2 ports are
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BFBC2 External port: 18390      Internal port: 18390 Protocol: TCP
BFBC2A External port: 18395    Internal port: 18395 Protocol: TCP
BFBC2B External port: 13505    Internal port: 13505 Protocol: TCP
BFBC2C External port: 18395    Internal port: 18395 Protocol: UDP
BFBC2D External port: 80         Internal port: 80 Protocol: TCP/UDP



thanks for any help!!

[FurryNutz]

for local IP range, thats the IP address of your xbox or PC that your gaming on, both FROM and TO.
Remote Port Range you have correct.
For Remote Port Range, try 0 to 65535 for now.

Let us know if you need more help, maybe someone can teamviewer.com in and help you out.
