I was helping a friend out, who had that infamous latency problem while getting people to join his sc games. Well, i tried to open up his ports, but still people wouldn't join. So, i resetted his router, expecting everything to work. The computers can't even connect to the internet now. It's a siemens router. Help? Argh, i try to make his gaming experience better, but i screw up his whole internet. I'm so embarrassed | ||

Most routers by default have NO encryption, which means any wireless computer can simply join and configure them. You want to... 1) Have any wireless computer look for the default SSID (network name) and join it (note: if it's encrypted, you'll want to use a direct ethernet connection) 2) Bring up the router utility page; it's usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (just type it into IE) 3) You'll probably have to put in a default username//password, look up his particular model on this page. 4) Navigate the utility and setup his network again, making sure to encrypt it, and write down the WEP key. Then go to each computer that you Edit - And can't really help you with the original problem you were trying to fix, I don't really even know exactly how the workaround for that works.  | ||

I'm so embarrassed Make sure the blue cables go in the blue holes and the red cables go in the red holes, do a system restore, and say 3 hail marries, after that everything should be good.  | ||

start menu > run > "regedit" go to the hkey_current_user > software > battle.net > config and create a dword value key named Game Data Port and give it a decimal value such as 6112. this changes the port sc uses to whatever you enter. do the same with the other computer, but use a different value. now go into your router and set it so that it fowards to the ports you set it will let you both join the same game, as long as someone else hosts. It will also let both computers host their own seperate games without the latency errors. | ||

Make sure you choose "decimal value" and not "hexadecimal value" I've noticed that this isnt a 100% fix, since sometimes I got this weird error where we couldnt find eachother's games but could play under a 3rd host with no latency. But then another time it'd work just fine. weird stuff. | ||

One quick additional question: How do I access the router and have it forward to the new port settings? | ||

 Edit: Okay, I've gotten into the server page, and I go to the port forwarding page, but from there I'm not sure how to correctly set-up a forward to my new port. lol. there's a default port for age of empires. | ||

Edit: It's a NetGear router. This is tricky, but you COULD get it to work. Search gg.net for router 2 players or something like that, you'll find an article with a solution, but it's a tad too much work than I was willing to do, so I can't guarantee it works. Also, by "setting up" the router, you need to set up it's IPs, DNSs, Gateways. When you resetted it, all these had erased, so you need to call the ISP and ask what to do. If it's PPPoE then you still need to call the ISP for the username/pass. | ||
