shirsho12 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Hello forum people, I've recently started playing 0 a.d. and am trying to host multiplayer games for a group of friends. Sadly neither them or I can do that. I am trying to do perform port forwarding but it isnt working. The router is TP-LINK 450M Wireless N Router and this is the port forwarding prompt I am receiving:https://ibb.co/m5DPFHG I uploaded the image at an image hosting site since i can't add it here. If it doesn't work please let me know. What should I do now? Please help. I tried filling this up with 20595 and 8000 and 192.168.0.3 / 4 but it still didnt work. Then I restarted the router but still to no avail. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Is unpnp enabled? Are you friends in the same location ? You need to foward the port to whatever your local address is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to foward the port to whatever your local address is. We are in different cities, like a 150 miles apart. Whats unpnp and how would i enable that? Also, its ok if only the host enables it right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Yeah it's okay. In the screenshot you provided there is unpnp. It's to allow the router to do port forwarding automatically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to allow the router to do port forwarding automatically So the IP address is my IPv4 address, the service port is 20595 and the internal port is blank. Protocol UDP and i'm not selecting a Common Service Port. So UPnP is enabled but it's blank. What do I do now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 If you host now in the lobby can you see it there ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to do anything with DMZ or port triggering?? Can't post any more rn. I have Kaspersky and Windows Defender. I usually exit Kaspersky before starting the game. Is that enough?

Stan` Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Just now, shirsho12 said: umm i have windows defender and Kaspersky, but i turn kaspersky off before playing the game Sometimes you need to authorize application through windows defender. If it's blocking 0 A.D. it won't work; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan` Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Sorry, I must have asked before, but how do you host the game? Can you tell me the steps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
