Q. I set up an Unreal Tournament Server, but others on the LAN cannot join. What
do I need to do?
If you have a dedicated Unreal Tournament server running, you need to create a
static IP for each of the LAN computers and forward ports 7777, 7778, 7779, 7780,
7781, and 27900 to the IP address of the server. You can also use a port
forwarding range of 7777 to 27900. If you want to use the UT Server Admin,
forward another port (8080 usually works well but is used for remote admin; you
may have to disable this), and then in the [UWeb.WebServer] section of the
server.ini file, set the ListenPort to 8080 (to match the mapped port above) and
ServerName to the IP assigned to the router from your ISP.
Q. Can multiple gamers on the LAN get on one game server and play
simultaneously with just one public IP address?
It depends on which network game or what kind of game server you are using. For
example, Unreal Tournament supports multi-login with one public IP.
Q. How do I get Half-Life: Team Fortress to work with the router?
The default client port for Half-Life is 27005. The computers on your LAN need to
have “+clientport 2700x” added to the HL shortcut command line; the x would be
6, 7, 8, and on up. This lets multiple computers connect to the same server. One
problem: Version 1.0.1.6 won’t let multiple computers with the same CD key
connect at the same time, even if on the same LAN (not a problem with 1.0.1.3). As
far as hosting games, the HL server does not need to be in the DMZ. Just forward
port 27015 to the local IP address of the server computer.
Q. How can I block corrupted FTP downloads?
If you are experiencing corrupted files when you download a file with your FTP
client, try using another FTP program.
The web page hangs; downloads are corrupt, or nothing but junk characters are
being displayed on the window. What do I need to do?
Force your Ethernet adapter to 10 Mbps or half duplex mode, and turn off the
“Auto-negotiate” feature of your Ethernet adapter as a temporary measure. (Please
look at the Network Control Panel in your Ethernet adapter’s Advanced Properties
tab.) Make sure that your proxy setting is disabled in the browser. Check our
website at www.cisco.com for more information.
