Hi All
I've spent the last 3-4 days trying to set up for playing on Gamespy. I have read all the stuff on this forum, plus on Gamespy, plus on other forums.
I have a Netgear DG834GT on Sky [who I believe tweak things slightly for their ISP purposes - they are a UK satellite broadcaster and now ISP as well]. I have set up the following services in the router menu
Services
and then set the following firewall rules, also in the router menu.

Outbound Services

I was running Zonealarm, but in my frustration I have completely uninstalled that and removed it from registry.
Still no joy I've been testing my setup in Gamespy by creating a room and trying to launch the game with just me in it, and I keep getting the same result which is an error message
'There was an error which prevented the game from being launched. Check to make sure that the game is properly installed and that the path is correct.'
Checked that and it is properly installed and the path is correct.
I know that others have had trouble with netgear routers, but I don't know how they sorted them out in the end? Please - is there any help out there - I'm at my wits end!![/b]

i just set up my netgeat 834gv3 last week,
sorry i havent got around to post pictures, but ill try...
192.168.0.1 is my gateway, i have 2 ethernet pc,2 wireless 1 pc,1 laptop.
these pc's use 192.168.0.2 and .3 and .4 and .5, byt wireless gets .4 and .5 usually, and ethernet gets .2 and .3 ,sometimes .4 this is why i had for open all these inbound services.
since doing this, i have hosted some dozen ccv and 1/2 dozen coi games this last week!
mine are named PF 1-13 becaused in deperation i bought pfconfig from portforward.com for 30usd. it didnt work because it didnt take into account the router and multiple PCs. it only works with 1pc and no router.

add ccv to windows firewall to accepted list, avg/zone alarm/nortons should all allow program, TEST by opening ccv,multiplayer, host(now anti virus usually pops up, allow)

Hi Anzac Tak
Thanks for the comprehensive reply. Your router config looks quite familiar to what I've put in, but I'll work through it with your once again and see how I get on - good hint re the firewall, I'll also try that.
