I believe he meant, did R3 work before it was released last week while it was still in Beta?

Beta mode is closed right now until R4 is ready to test. So you should not even try using ASGS's Beta mode right now.

So to confirm, your ASGS can connect, but then you cannot get into a game?

Have you tried UNforwarding your port forwards?
Have you tried turning uPNP on? (if it was off)
Have you tried turning it off? (if it was on)

I think we should just have an autoresponder that says "Make sure to flip all the switches one more time just in case." so tiger dosen't have to anymore /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

I don't know what else to suggest.

Try uninstalling Allegiance, and resetting your router to default settings. (There's usually a "reset" button on the thing)

Then re-install and hope for the best.

Be sure to write down any other settings your router has configured for your other programs, or the other people at your location so you can restore those.

Allegiance should be able to get through routers with default settings.

If it's not working at work, chances are they're doing something to prevent it.

R3 allows you to get in without forwarding ports through your router, but it does nothing to get around administrators' attempts at preventing you from playing games at work.

I'd bet they are outright BLOCKING 99% of the ports, and only allowing web and perhaps a few others through.

Also, more generally, even if they are not blocking ports, they maybe monitoring them. I would strongly suggest you know your office's policy on running games at work (even during off hours) and more specifically playing network games at work.

As a general "rule of thumb" if you are not high enough in the company that you can have your sysadmin open up ports for you (or at least check for you), you probably should not be playing a network game on the company network.... /doh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doh:" border="0" alt="doh.gif" />
