Need help with Age of Empire II and Linksys router.

[ratchet]

Pretty much from what the above says. I have a Linksys Etherfast cable router and haven't been able to play AoEII on the zone. I understand this has something to do with the fact that the router doesn't support ranged port mapping. I've tried putting my computer in the DMZ but no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I dont play aok with the same router, but I have with aoe and it works if you use the dmz feature.

My friend had a similar problem with his Netgear router. You need to disable the NAT.

They now have a beta firmware that enables port range forwarding.

OMG, this is exactly what is needed. Does anyone want to try this out first?

If anyone does try it, be sure to read this page first.
