Network Not Reachable, Ports Forwarded

Posted: Tue Oct 26, 2004 1:46 am

Is your network reachable? No
Are you using a port-forward? Yes
Is your console being detected? Yes
Brief description of your network setup: SpeedStream 5200 DSL Modem (has router type setup/DHCP), Netgear WGR614v4 wireless router, but PC and XBox are hardwired to the router.
Do you use a software firewall?Yes, XP's in SP2 What brand? Microsoft. Have you made any changes to it? Exceptions for Kai and port 30000 forwarded.
Operating System? WindowsXP Home + SP2
Problem description? I can join arenas and see other people's ping, but they cant see mine. I cant see any games under system link even in my friends hosted arena.

[KaiUserConfig]
kaiPort=30000
kaiDeepPort=0
kaiAccept=LOCAL
kaiTimeout=NOUI
kaiNIC=0
kaiLaunch=BOTH
kaiHomebrew=OFF
kaiPAT=ON
kaiAutoLogin=On
kaiWireless=
kaiUI=Default

1. Turn PAT off. If it still doesn't work,
2. Check your port-forward on the speedstream. Make absolutely positively sure that it points to the IP address of the PC that runs Kai. Make sure it's 30000 UDP also.

Form Input - Error

NAPT server IP address is not a valid host LAN address.

Thats what it says when i try to route it to a specific ip Address (192.168.0.x)
And the turning off PAT didnt seem to do anything.

UPDATE: OK well, his Speedstream modem is rather frustrating Very Happy

It won't let him port-forward to a 192.168.0.x address (I was trying to forward 30000 UDP to the router, which the router would then forward to 192.168.0.2, his PC)..

No luck and he left before I could try anything else.. I didn't bother Googling for suggestions (although I tried to get the modem on to the same subnet as the router, but that's when his net connection died Very Happy

)..

He's gonna contact his ISP and do some searching..

i got it working. you were trying to forward it to 192.168.0.x, so i went into the router settings and checked what ip the modem was giving it. It was getting a 192.168.254.x IP. So i forwarded port 30000 to the router's DHCP assigned address, and finally it worked. Tested a game of halo this afternoon. Thanks for all the help guys. Wouldn't have been able to play without you.
