Hosting problem with BT Infinity Home Hub 6 - solved

[_angus_ 2]

Hi guys, I've been happily playing small co-operative missions with my friend for a while, but recently changed my ISP to BT Internet. Unfortunately after copying my port forwarding details across from my old router I could not host, although I could join his games. I'm not quite sure which step solved the problem but it works now and here's what I did:

 

 

Put in the port forward information.

 

Made my pc's IP static, and specifically an address close to but outside the router's DHCP range.

 

Turned off UPnP on the router settings

 

and bingo - hope that helps someone.  :)

Hey Angus,

 

I've just got the BT Smart Hub and now I can't join my friends server.

Strangely I can join if he sends an invite BEFORE I start Ama!?!?!

 

I've opened 2302-2305 UDP

Made IP static but won't let me enter IP outside DHCP range.

Turned off UPnP

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers,

 

ED
