UT99 - No more "Find Lan Games" full listing since Dlink R..

[Guest]

Hey,

I just added a Dlink HI-804HV non-wireless router to my cable modem,
and now when I click on "Find Lan Games" it only shows about 5 servers
in the list and then stops for CTF, DM, basically any type of game.

If I put the PC I play UT99 on it the DMZ, the "Find Lan Games"
populates correctly with numerous server choices.

Doing some reading made me think I had to forward port 27900 but I am
not running a UT99 server - only the game. This did not help.

Some newsgroup reading suggested that the router's firewall may be
thinking the results are an attack and cutting off the results.

In short, after many hours of searching and trying various port
forwarding (including 7777-7781) I am no closer to resolving this.

Any ideas what ports needed to be forwarded, or what application
triggers have to be configured in the Dlink router to get this
functionality back?

I hate to put the game PC into the DMZ if I don't have to.

Can't you use NAT? it saves all the mucking around with port
forwarding if you aren't hosting a server.

By default the router is using NAT (I alsohave SPI toggled on) - I am
not forwarding any ports at the moment. I'm wondering if there is a
"magic bullet" (setting) I can instruct the router to give me this
functionality back.

That SPI got me thinking... so I toggled it OFF and that fixed the
problem. For whatver reason, Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) being
ON caused the problem. Turning it OFF made the problem go away.

Thanks for your help.
