Gamevoice 1.5, Windows XP Home (SP2), and a WRT54G
Hey Everyone,
I have been trying forever to get my PC to host a Gamevoice server behind my WRT54G (Which has the firewall on). I have done everything I can possibly think of to get it to work, not only have I tried forwarding the correct ports to my PC, but I have also tried turning off the hardware firewall, putting DMZ on my PC, and turning off my software firewall, but I still cannot get my PC to host a session. I also checked Use the following IP address (NAT/ICS) in the options and put my external IP address in the blank. (I have tried the others options as well though) I get this error message: SideWinder Game Voice can't host a chat at this tine. Try running the Sound Hardware Test Wizard or reinstalling DirectX 8.0 or later, and then restart SideWinder Game Voice. Before I had broadband, I was able to use 1.5 to host, but now that I have a broadband, I am unable. I know the culprit is either my router (which is unlikely) or the program. Has anyone else had had this problem? I did not have the same problem with version 1.0, but with 1.5 I can't get it to work. I am running Windows XP with SP2. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

The WRT54G is a NAT router. You will need to do "port-forwarding" from the
Public IP address (from the WRT54G WAN port) to you PC's private network IP. "ShadowHawk" wrote in message ...
