Addon router

[FsNovice]

Does anyone else here use an addon router. I find their software very hard to follow and the configuration of opening ports impossible. I have followed the tutorial but this doesnt follow in the addon configuration software. I am still sure how to configure it so i am not the detriment of other multiplayers. If anyone knows how to open ports in Addon i will be eternally grateful. Thanks

Thanks Fozzer, i googled it as well but all topics i found related to actually getting a wireless connection, which isnt my issue, my issue resides with opening ports. I cant find a tutorial anywhere on how to do this.

One rule....

NO ROUTERS.

Thats my say.

You can't dismiss everyone who is using a router. Problem is that somehow the rule of opening ports is not followed by everyone. Some of them don't know about it or don't know how to do it. Some of them aren't even aware they are using a router. The only thing you can do about it is to have a warning in every announcement of a flight that people have to open their ports.

In there lays another problem, not everybody reads the posts in this forum. Hence the constant asking of 'where are you ' and 'where are we going'.

Possible solution? A password sytem that can only be accessed by reading certain posts that again tells people to open their ports. It will not prevent it completely but it'll help.

That password thing will help alot.

I will drop the charges.

Have you had a read through this Tutorial by eno at the top of this Thread...?

It deals with "Ports" and "things"......!

Paul... 8-)...!

Concordepilot, you seem to think i want to be irritating and want to cause all you people without routers problems. This is not the case however. I have no choice to use a router as we have two pcs and one internet connection. The addon software is crap to put it lightly and i am currently trying to get it to work but the correct screens dont exist in ADDON. I was simply wondering if someone knew how to do the opening ports thing.

[concordepilot]

Well it is someone on mutliplayer who hasn't got there ports open propally and my FS dosn't like routers for some reason, and yes I have read the sticky that was the first thing I did before I ever went on the multiplayer.

Addon Router/Modems.

Have you had a peek here, the manufacturers site...with downloadable instruction manuals?...>>>

Thats not the manufacturers website. They dont sell addon equpment. unless i missed something hidden i couldnt find the addon manual. and  i did a search as well.

[FsNovice]

Hope it works......!

As with most things, if you know the Manufacturer and the Type No, a Google search will often find what you are looking for....

I got the link off the Maplin site for "Addon Modem/Routers"...!

I use Linksys (no choice about using a router, as I share a single broadband connection with several other people), and to configure ports, all I have to do is connect to it with my browser (entering my computer's IP does the trick), enter the password, and there are a bunch of utility pages, including one for ports.
I can only assume that Addon routers have a similar utility, and that you've tried it...?

Perhaps the easiest way is to get rid of all the "Other People", throw the Router in the 'bin, and just plug a cheapie Modem straight into the 'Phone socket... ::)...!

...'s what I would do... :P...!

LOL... ;D...!
