A Notice to all Players this Saturday

[a1]

I have a router.


I am setting it up as best I could but if there are any problems with disconnects this Saturday's tours please forgive me. If the moment I see a person having difficulty logging into multiplayer I'll log out and let you all fly without problems.

i am testing stuff with it now.

This is just a notice to all fellow multiplayer fans that are on my tours.

The dreaded Router... ...!

For many, many years I have been flying on various Multiplayer Servers with the aid of my simple USB Plug and Play ADSL Wired Thomson Modem....
...with NO ROUTER..and no Port problems.

I recently changed my Service Provider, who supplied me with the usual FREE Modem....A SmartAX MT 882 ADSL Ethernet/USB Wired Modem/Router

I spent ages trying to open the ports in my new MT 882 Router by examining the Routers internal Software*, but nothing in the programme indicated where to enter the Port addresses that required opening!!

To try and resolve the Port Forwarding in my SmartAX MT882 combined Modem/Router, I downloaded the following program and paid

Just tested BF2 and it runs without problems.  ;)

I run a Linksys WRT54G v6 router and a Linksys Wireless Buddy N (adapter ) and I get a ping of 200-350. All depends on your ISP really. Routers do too but not nearly as much. AT&T [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I dumped my troublesome Smart MT 882 Router 3 Hours 2 minutes after installing it, and replaced it with a simple, straight-forward, bog-standard, Zoom Wired Modem (
