    Ok i have a WYR-G54 wireless router (anchant) I cant figure how to disable the port blocking on ports 10010-10499 to play vanguard soh. I have firmware 1.1. I have tryed buffalo directly and they are as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Please somebody help. I have wasted a day on this so far.

    you don't disable port blocking, you OPEN ports.

    I have no idea what vanguard soh is....if it is Saga of Heroes

    you will need to open the following

    Vanguard.exe uses port 7000
    Vgclient.exe uses ports 9000 and 10100-10132
    Launchpad.exe uses ports 53, 80, 7000, 9700

    When opening access to these be sure to open these ports on both TCP and UDP given the option.

    Go here:

    http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Buffalo/WYR-G54/WYR-G54index.htm

    Your game is not listed here, but by following the steps on any of these games (but changing the port numbers) for your game, you should be up and running

    No, as long as you are naming each one different, but do you realize you are opening both tcp and udp for each of the above listed ports? So, you have a total of 14 additional servers, naming them as soh1, soh2.....soh14

    do you have a firewall other than the windows firewall?

    Also, see if you temporarily disable Windows firewall and get a different result

    No and my gf who is also trying to sort this through same router hasnt got windows firewall. However it works fine without router attached but that means only one of us can play and we are ment to be playing this game together.

    If you forward the ports to one computer, then you can't use them on the other computer. Regardless, you shouldn't need to forward ANY ports for a simple client connection. I can't see any notes online where port forwarding is a solution to anything with the game. I think you're barking up the wrong tree.

    Now, do you connect and then disconnect? Or do you just timeout and not connect at all? That's a very big difference, and I can't tell from your posts which it is.
