Please re-read the READ ME FIRST topic for solutions for your error. If you still can't fix it, find out your router and modem (if any) model numbers (look under them or look up the manual f.ex.) and report it here.

Thanks.

Uhh well can you give me the games IP Address? Ive got my computers Network Connection wanting an IP Address to all the thing. And it says the following:


Description of Service:
-Allegiance- <What I put

Name or IP Address (for example 192.168.0.12) of the computer hostingt this service on your network:
-- <I left it blank since I havent got it.

External Port number for this service:
-47624- TCP/UDP

Internal Port number for this service:
-47624-

Now can you help me?

To find your computer's IP address when you're using WindowsXP, just do:

Start,
Run,
cmd and press enter
A DOS window should pop up, type in,
ipconfig and press enter

The field after "IP Address" is what you put in.

----

It also seems as though you can only forward one port at a time. Is that right? If so, please also look up how to use dxdiag from our knowledge base. Allegiance requires the full range of ports from 2300-2400 forwarded to your computer. Dxdiag will enable you to play with forwarding only 2 ports.

Im just about to give up on this f**king piece of s**t just like i did last year when i tried to get it. If you can PLEASE PLEASE help me in any way that isnt too complicated! I've tried all the ports, i've tried port triggering and fowarding, ive gotten DXPort, and that isnt helping, i've gone into Internet Connections and tried alot to allow the game to allow the game port 47624, and ive tried to allow ports 2300 and 2301, ive tried all i can think of, but NOTHING will let it! If you can please help me out now by any means then PLEASE tell me!

Step by step instructions are not possible until you give us exact router/modem identification.

Thanks.
