Actually, you should not have to open the ports on the router. Close them again and try it. Running ASGS/Allegiance as admin is enough.

Grimm, D-Link routers have a build in firewall, so you need to open ports... :glare:

The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.

That is correct. Closing as solved.

I wonder if that's specific to some models of D-link routers? I'm running a D-link DIR-655 (reasonably new model, I think). I don't have any special rules that I had to set up in order for Alleg to run. *shrug*

(Just thought I'd toss that out there.)

All D-Link routers have a port rule called 'MSN Gaming Zone'. It's set by default to 'allow', so you don't have to meddle with settings to play Alleg. In this case, someone must've unchecked the rule.

As I also own one of those cheap D-Link routers, I will check it as soon as I am home. I doubt I have those ports open.
