Hi,
I made a lill network 4 the misses and me, and its running fine..
Acsept, I cant get mercs to work on my client (thats me..poor sod laugh.gif )

Comsocks 3.08a
Mw on my client.
Network works fine.
Internet on my client works fine.
Cant find how to tell Client mw to conect to the zone server.(tru comsocks) tantrum.gif
Anny of you guys now how to get around this?
Droopy.
Brewder
Wow Droop. I haven't socksified my net connections in ages. I'll take a look but what are the URL's for the software you used?





Is this it?

http://www.linkbyte.com/

If so, it looks a lot smarter than the socks apps I've used, but I haven't used socks since 96'.

If it's this, download this manual and go to page 64. It shows how to make Quake 1&2 connect through. http://www.host-host.com/comtun40.pdf Use this as a guide to your ports. http://www.banzaiinstitute.net/InvisionBoa...T&f=3&t=1105&s=

If it is something else, it likely has similar instructions. Feel free to post a URL for what you are using and I'll take a swing at it.

Thanks Brew,
Yes, thats the one.
It lookt to me like an easy to use proxi, which it was, toke me just min. to set up my network conections.
And its not that expencive to buy, so thats wy I pict this one..

I'm trying it out now. Hope I'f got it right.
Dit not yet read the full manuel, just the bit about QI+QII, so I hope I put the numbers right....
I'f put the new machine together, (the client) whith a brand new MB+ procesor, but I'f used an old harddrive {3gb} which I pickt up for free somwhere.

As a test i'f instald Vengence, to see if I could conect to the MW server.
Tnx again,
Ill let you now what happens
Droopy.
DroopyMczip
Nope, cant get it to work..
These are my settings.
Wat am I doing rong.. tantrum.gif pint.gif aahhh.
Tnx,
Droopy.

Mmm, imaigs does not seem to work..
DroopyMczip
Ok, these are my settings.

In Manager:
Port Configuration
Port mapping's Name: MW4

Proxi IP address: 192.168.1.1 (host)
Proxi Port : 27999

Destination: zonematch.zone.com
Port:27999

Message come from sender's port: 0
Proxi server uses this port: 0
Transport: udp
Rule: general
Bi-directional UDP mapping (v) Wait for return messages (anabelt)

MWVengence still wont run on my client.
What am I doing rong?
droopy.

Oops, this time the Att. did work..DOH!
Brewder
Will take a look in morning as I just came home from spending the day at the hospital. Best friend suffered a pulmunary embolism and I've been visiting him and helping family. Fortunately he is doing well, just in a bit of pain and rather shaken.

I'll take a look tomorrow. Thanks for the graphics shot, will be helpful to review.
DroopyMczip
Tnx again, Brew.
I'm sorry to here abuat your friend.sad.gif
Take all your time for that first.
My connection problems are compeart to somthing like that totally uninportent.
Droopy.
Brewder
He's doing quite well, very fortunate and lucky. Apparently embolisms tend to lodge in places other than the lungs with significantly more dire consequences. It was simply good to talk to him and as he replied, it was good to be talked to. smile.gif

I haven't had time to look this over today. Work is pretty busy, hopefully I'll have some downtime soon.
MOK

DX Port might cure your ills. Check it out. Bunch of folks use it with routers and stuff.
DroopyMczip
Brew, glad to here he's ok.
I'm not in a hury to get this baby up&running. In two weeks I can ofort myself a new (80gb) hard drive,
Then i'm gonna set up the client again.
This one now os just a test to get it running. tongue.gif
I'm gonna take a look intoe this DX port thingy from MOK.
Looks like it might work for me,I'll let ya now.
Tnx all.
Droopy

*edit*
Nope, cant get to work either. got that dx port running on my client, but stil cant find the right settings 4 comsocks to have it conect to the zone..
Ill make a pic and post them.
droopy.
DroopyMczip
Hope this will help.
If you need anny other info, let me know..
Droopy.

... ok ... again... ... just read the pdf link for comsocks/tune brewder posted more carefully...

... however, I'm not sure, maybe you should wait for someone else to have a look
at this - try it only and only if you want to waste some time -

Ok then ... the first config is supposed to enable you to use the ingame server browser,
if it doesn't work, try the second one to connect to a single vengeance server ...

... both configs assume that 192.168.1.1 is the box w. comsocks, and 192.168.1.2 is
the client with vengeance ...

Configuration A)

You'll have to make a port mapping for each port veng/merc uses - using dxport, which you already do, will minimize your work:

Create one port-mapping for each port from 2302 to (and including) 2311,
call them mwvengudp1-mwvengudp10

Sample:

----
Port Mapping's Name: mwvengudp1
Proxy IP Adress Port: 0.0.0.0:2302

Destination Name or IP:192.168.1.2 Port: 2302

Transport: udp
rule: generic
Bi-directional udp-mapping: check
----

... then you'll have to do it again for tcp

Create one port-mapping for each port from 2302 to (and including) 2311,
call them mwventcp1-mwvengtcp10

Sample:

----
Port Mapping's Name: mwvengtcp1
Proxy IP Adress Port: 0.0.0.0:2302

[0.0.0.0 stands for any address, as you don't want to this for every server you want to connect to]

Destination Name or IP:192.168.1.2 Port: 2302

Transport: tcp
----

... then add another one:

---
Port Mapping's Name: moredirectplay1
Proxy IP Adress Port: 0.0.0.0:6073

Destination Name or IP:192.168.1.2 Port: 6073

Transport: tcp
---

... and another one:

---
Port Mapping's Name: moredirectplay2
Proxy IP Adress Port: 0.0.0.0:9110

Destination Name or IP:192.168.1.2 Port:9110

Transport: udp
rule: generic
Bi-directional udp-mapping: check
---

... and another one:

---
Port Mapping's Name: moredirectplay3
Proxy IP Adress Port: 0.0.0.0:47624

Destination Name or IP:192.168.1.2 Port:47624

Transport:tcp
---

... and finally one for zonematch:

---
Port Mapping's Name: zonematch
Proxy IP Adress Port: 0.0.0.0:27999

Destination Name or IP:192.168.1.2 Port: 27999

Transport: uhhh dunno ... anyone?
---

Configuration B )

This should at least enable to connect to a single vengeance server, you need to
have it's IP "vengserverIP" however - it will work the same way with mercs.

Create one port-mapping for each port from 2302 to (and including) 2311,
call them vservudp1-versvudp10

Sample:

----
Port Mapping's Name:vservudp1
Proxy IP Adress Port: 192.168.1.1:2302

Destination IP: vengserverIP [insert actual IP here biggrin2.gif ]
Destination Port: 2302

Transport: udp
rule: generic
Bi-directional udp-mapping: check
----

... then you'll have to do it again for tcp

Create one port-mapping for each port from 2302 to (and including) 2311, call them vengtcp1-vengtcp10

Sample:

----
Port Mapping's Name: vengtcp1
Proxy IP Adress Port: 192.168.1.1:2302

Destination Name or IP:vengserverIP Port: 2302

Transport: tcp
----

... then add another one:

---
Port Mapping's Name: moredirectplay1
Proxy IP Adress Port: 192.168.1.1:6073

Destination Name or IP:vengserverIP Port: 6073

Transport: tcp
---

... and another one:

---
Port Mapping's Name: moredirectplay2
Proxy IP Adress Port: 192.168.1.1:9110

Destination Name or IP:vengserverIP Port:9110

Transport: udp
rule: generic
Bi-directional udp-mapping: check
---

... and another one:

---
Port Mapping's Name: moredirectplay3
Proxy IP Adress Port: 192.168.1.1:47624

Destination Name or IP:vengserverIP Port:47624

Transport:tcp
---

... now you should be able to connect to a single server, using
192.168.1.1 instead of the servers actual IP address. Start dxport, start veng ...

@brewder et al: looking at the comsocks/comtune manual, mainly the section on half-life and
quake, it seems comsocks needs the servers IP address for udp mappings - if that's the case, I'd say only Configuration B ) can possibly work?
DroopyMczip
Thanks, PF, ill give it a go in the morning, however, if only option B works, mabey I'm better of with some other proxi server that''s more easy to handel whith directx games.
If anny of you guys have recomendations for an easy to handel proxi, that even an n00b like me can run, please let me now. laugh.gif
Droopy.
Panzerfritz
Sadly, it didn't work - however, maybe someone else has an idea for Droopy?

It don't remember any windows proxy besides jana, and that doesn't support directplay.

However, according to some articles, it should work with ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)
and DirectX 9 - has someone tried this out already?

see

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=240429

for details.

Any recommendations on this setup?
DroopyMczip
"Ok, wy not" Droopy thinks, "I'll gife it an other try whith ICS."

( windows 98se, directx 9.0b, the client and the host!)

Host, client setup..nothing, not even the webbrowser could connect. tantrum.gif
I left it for a wile, and then did a dutch google on network conections and ICS.

Then I found this: I had to run 'undo DHCP", which was on the windows cd(win98se), in order to get static IP-adresses.

After rebooting the client and the host, it workt like a dream! woot.gif
I did however needed to configur my zonealarms 4 this conection..but..
Mw4 is running fine on my client. problems gone.
Tnx 4 all your help.
This is one happy Droopy.
