Is this due to port that is not forwarded correct? are we missing something? feel free to contact me anyway possible.... thanks.
Our current IP address settings:
Lan1 (me)
router - 192.168.0.1
cpu - 192.168.0.100
Lan2 (cousin)
router - 192.168.0.3
cpu - 192.168.0.120
we used all the same information below
I'll try my best but I'm not great at detailing setup instructions.
Going on 2x LANs, both behind ADSL routers using NAT:
1. You need to first setup your LANs so they are both on the same IP range. For example if you have 5 PCs for each LAN then:
LAN1:
Router: 192.168.0.1
PC1: 192.168.0.2
PC2: 192.168.0.3
PC3: 192.168.0.4
PC4: 192.168.0.5
PC5: 192.168.0.6
LAN2:
Router: 192.168.0.21
PC1: 192.168.0.22
PC2: 192.168.0.23
PC3: 192.168.0.24
PC4: 192.168.0.25
PC5: 192.168.0.26
2. Install GIT on 1 PC on each LAN. I used GIT 0.99 beta2. Doesn't matter what PC, so long as the router can port forward to it.
3. Run GIT, goto config and add the external IP of the LAN you wish to connect to and set the port to 213 with the connection method as UDP - Fastest. Make sure you do this to both GITs.
4. Add the ports for the games you wish to link, i.e:
5555 : Codename Panzers
6112 : Warcraft III
8080-8099 : Generals (did a range as I didnt have time to check the port but I think it just uses 8080)
18321 : Medieval Total War
34987 : Rise of Nations
I also added the DX8 games ports
5. Goto Advanced config and tick only these settings:
Ethernet II
Forward ARP
TCP
UDP
ICMP (got this ticked so I can test ping IPs on the other LAN)
Also Match Source Port
6. Via your router admin, forward port 213 on UDP to the IP of the PC running GIT. Do the same on the other LANs router.
That should be it.
To test you could try pinging an IP from the other LAN.
I have tested GIT with all of them games listed above in the config port bit and they all worked fine.
If you want to add a LAN3 then just do the same but when entering the port for the connection where you enter the host IP, make sure its on a different port number.
LAN1 - LAN2 = 213
LAN2 - LAN1 = 213
LAN1 - LAN3 = 214
LAN3 - LAN1 = 214
LAN2 - LAN3 = 215
LAN3 - LAN2 = 215
Hope this helps you all. Just hope I didn't miss anything out.
Like I said before, this works for me and works damn fine. Thanks to Morpheus Software for making this nice program.
