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 ~ 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.
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.
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 comput-
er.
The web page hangs; downloads are corrupt, or nothing but junk characters are
being displayed on the screen. What do I need to do? Force your Ethernet
adapter to 10Mbps 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 web-
site at www.linksys.com for more information.
If all else fails in the installation, what can I do? Reset the Router by holding
down the reset button for about 30 seconds. Reset your cable or DSL modem
by powering the unit off and then on. Obtain and flash the latest firmware
release that is readily available on the Network Everywhere website,
www.networkeverywhere.com.
What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the Router will support? The
Router will support up to 253 IP addresses.
Is IPSec Pass-Through supported by the Router? Yes, it is a built-in feature that
the Router automatically enables.
Where is the Router installed on the network? In a typical environment, the
Router is installed between the cable/DSL modem and the LAN. Plug the
Router into the cable/DSL modem’s Ethernet port.
Does the Router support IPX or AppleTalk? No. TCP/IP is the only protocol stan-
dard for the Internet and has become the global standard for communications.
IPX, a NetWare communications protocol used only to route messages from
one node to another, and AppleTalk, a communications protocol used on
Apple and Macintosh networks, can be used for LAN to LAN connections,
but those protocols cannot connect from Internet to LAN.
Does the Router’s Internet port support 100 Mbps Ethernet? Because of the speed
limitations of broadband Internet connections, the Router’s current hardware
design supports 10 Mbps Ethernet on its Internet port. It does, of course, sup-
port 100 Mbps over its LAN ports.
What is Network Address Translation and what is it used for? Network Address
Translation (NAT) translates multiple IP addresses on the private LAN to one
public address that is sent out to the Internet. This adds a level of security
since the address of a PC connected to the private LAN is never transmitted
on the Internet. Furthermore, NAT allows the Router to be used with low cost
Internet accounts, such as DSL or cable modems, when only one TCP/IP
address is provided by the ISP. The user may have many private addresses
behind this single address provided by the ISP.
Does the Router support any operating system other than Windows 98 SE,
Windows 2000, Windows NT, or Windows XP? Yes, but Network Everywhere
does not, at this time, provide technical support for setup, configuration or
troubleshooting of any non-Windows operating systems.
Does the Router support ICQ send file? Yes, with the following fix: click ICQ
menu -> preference -> connections tab->, and check I am behind a fire-
wall or proxy. Then set the firewall time-out to 80 seconds in the firewall set-
ting. The Internet user can then send a file to a user behind the Router.
