It's just stupid that games that you have to play through Steam still require you to forward ports etc. (which makes my internet go SQUISH)

What I was thinking though, can't you pull the same trick as with GreedCorp (invite me through steam to join the game?). Cant think of any other way atm  :-[

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

I can try.

As for greedcorp garry - its kinda fun with actual people. Even if my strategy was "if I cant win, then i'll suicide" :)

So I figured it may be the name I'm giving to the 'application' I forward the ports for, so I changed the ports for one of the pre-existing applications that are preset in my router and assigned that to my computer and stuff is still working......  ???
All that's left to do is test if ETW will run now...

Update:

Gave my ISP a call and after initial raised eyebrows at my problem (modem/router disconnects to anything when I turn on uPnP) they suspected a faulty modem (according to forums the whole modem in general is faulty, but anyway...) and they will send me a new (different brand/model) modem, so yay... (anyway, hope I will finally be able to play games like ETW in MP with that one)

Thumbs up for my ISP for their fast service. Called them yesterday, new modem was in today! Because I was out drinking all day installation has to wait till tomorrow, but wow... they're fast!

Anyone got any clue?






Above is the client log, which I think tells me that the IP 192.168.2.1 is assigned to my computer.
Below is how I set the ports. My noob mind tells me this should work, but when I test it, it appears it doesnt work.
Am I wrong or am I fucked? (reading the forums, my ISP sucks for portforwarding as they screw over the modems they send to their clients)

That looks to be correct - its how I do on my router (not a modem, but works the same as far as portforwarding goes) pretty much.
