MTM2.com

A lot of new players come in and have trouble setting up their router ports to allow online play. I was thinking maybe it'd be an idea to post screenshots of whatever router set ups we can find and then just point the newbs to that so they can copy it for their own system. To be useful, we'd have to know the manufacturer and model number. Pictures would be best as small as possible but without scroll bars on the browser window. Example, my set up:

Linksys BEFSR41 firmware revision 1.46.02, Aug 03 2004

Alternately, this is a handy site - and might even be easier

It doesn't list mtm, or even all routers, but if you look up DirectX then it should work fine. Examples.

BEFSR41

• portforward.com/Linksys/BEFSR41/BEFSR41index.htm
  
• portforward.com/Linksys/BEFSR41/DirectX_8.1.htm

BEFSR41 v1.40.2

• portforward.com/Linksys/BEFSR41v1.40.2/BEFSR41v1.40.2index.htm
  
• portforward.com/Linksys/BEFSR41v1.40.2/DirectX_8.1.htm

Does any of that look familiar?

can I use a cordless connexion to join a race?

One of our regular Tournament players (E2R_GetRDone) uses wireless. Not always good results with disconnections.

For gaming online, it may not be such a good idea to go wireless, unless you have a very strong signal. Never know till ya try it with us online

is anyone going to help me

ports 6073, 47624 and ranges 2300-2400 have been given

portforward.com link has been given

I'm not sure what else you require..... except...



... except with an attitude like that you're not exactly inviting assistance.

sorry, i get jumpy when i do not get much help and i have seen what happens to noobs on this site and draggers , but i cannot figure out that site works , so hit me up on aim at CIDRAdragger if you would like to help me further

I think you have to read now, we can't do everything for you, especially since your router isn't configured, so we can't even lend remote assistance.

sorry guys, i have no clue as of what to do right now so any assistance would be apreciated, i can't figure out what else to do

> sorry, i get jumpy

Well, don't get jumpy. You don't need it.



Instead, show a screen shot of your router port forwarding page

problem is i don't know where that screen is second problem iis i do not know how to take a screen shot

> i don't know where that screen is

You'll need to find your router's documentation for that.


> i do not know how to take a screen shot

Press the print screen button, then paste into a paint program. You can also use a screen capture program.

it says step by step instructions how to configure every router on portforwward.com

Go here and pick your router from the list
