Hosting and playing from my network, please help! (Joint o..

Ok, i have set up one of my PC's to host JO, and it works good, my
squad can get into my server and play just fine, but when i try to
enter i get stuck at enumerating session all the time. Also, maybe
something that has to do with the same thing, we use Ventrilo to talk
in games, my other PC is also a server for ventrilo and if i use my
external IP to try and join it i cant. I have to use a local internal
IP of that exact machine to access it that way. any ideas? if you can
help post here, or actually please e-mail me at Robert.TakeThisOut@prizopst.com

Q: I am hosting a Joint Operations Typhoon Rising game on NovaWorld and people are able to see it in the game lobby, but when they
attempt to join they get stuck at the "Enumerating Session" screen or receive an error message.

Answer: If you are hosting the game from behind a router and you have not set up port forwarding, your game will be visible in the
NovaWorld game lobby but will be inaccessible. You will need to configure your router to forward all incoming traffic on UDP port
32768 to the internal IP address of the computer which will be hosting the game.

Q: How do I configure my router to play Joint Operations Typhoon Rising?

Answer: If you are simply going to join multiplayer games, you shouldn't need to change your router settings. If you plan to host
games on NovaWorld, however, you'll need to assign your computer as a "DMZ" server (thus allowing other computers access to your
server) or allow inbound services on UDP port 32768.

Here are example steps for configuring a Netgear ProSafe FR114P firewall/router: (If you require help configuring your router,
please contact your router's manufacturer.)

Start up Internet Explorer and type "http://192.168.0.1" in the address box, followed by your name and password ("admin" and
"password" are the default.)

The router's settings page should then be displayed. Click on the "Services" option on the left and then select the "Add custom
service" option. Name the service "JOTR", set the type to "UDP", then set the start and finish port to 32768. Apply these settings
and then click "Rules" on the left-hand side of your screen.

Under "Inbound services" select "Add" and choose "JOTR" from the list of services presented. Set "Allow always" as the action. Then
put your computer's IP address for the "Send to LAN server" field. WAN users should be set to "Any". The "log" setting can be set as
you see fit. If you want players to be able to see the ping time to your server from the game server list, you must check the
"Respond to ping on Internet WAN port" option. Apply these settings and your firewall should be configured to allow you to host
