Re: DLR tcp/ip issues 14 years ago #16
Hi OldSchool,
I used to play Warlords DLR regularly with my dad over the internet. These are the notes I made that worked. My machine was XP and my dads was W2k. I used the resources at the bottom of the post to come to the following procedure which worked every time: Darklords Rising 1. MH (WinXP) must host game 2. MH PC must be in an administrator mode (for saved games) 3. MH must enable a set of firewall rules on my router for my DELL PC [set stored as w3dlr-5] 4. Dad must enable an equivalent set of firewall rules on his router 5. MH/Dad must have their DLR CD’s in their respective machines 6. MH must have full internet access for darklords.exe program in Norton 7. Dad must have full internet access for darklords.exe program in McAffee 8. MH must have darklords.exe compatibility mode set to Win98(right click on file in win explorer, properties, compatibility mode). 9. Above compatibility stops scenarios being used, see warlorders.com 10. Check ipchicken.com for current public ip addresses of MH/Dad PC which change regularly.. these are used to connect to each other 11. MH starts a multiplayer game as host 12. Dad (Win2000) joins game 13. At the end of the game both players should remove the port set that was opened for the game (I called my set W3DLR-5) on their respective routers. Router firewall ports to open W3DLR-05 (works fine) UDP only 53 UDP/TCPIP 1900 2234 2300 to 2402 47624 6073 Note: Theoretical byt never tried: Could try changing 2300 – 2402 to 2300,2350 only. Also try deleting 6073. This will either work or it won’t. Reason for this is the above ports are a conservative guesstimate from ALL resources below Reources Warlorders.com Portforward.com Microsoft.com – search for “DirectX port settings”, “multiplayer games” Norton Security prompts for access to certain ports by DLR (stopped darklords.exe‘allow always’ access rights to internet) Hope this helps Cheers Mark |

Oldschool,
It could very well be the other player has a firewall problem. If one or both of you are behind a home router that could be the problem because the router might not be forwarding ports or your machine isn't in the DMZ. Easiest way to tell if it's you or him is: 1) Go to www.whatismyip.com and get your IP address. 2) Start DLR. Host a game. 3) Start DLR a 2nd time. Connect to a game using IP address. Enter your IP address. If you can connect to yourself then it's not you, it's him. If you can't connect to yourself it's you and likely it's a router issue. KGB |
