connection problems
 

4 computer home-based LAN w/SMC router.

Added ports 10052/54 TCP/UDP in exceptions in Windows Firewall as well as the public address in NAT on router. Enabled DMZ as well.

What is the trigger port?

I even tried to disable DHCP and changed the TCP/IP settings in windows to static.

I have JJ2 retail v 1.24 and have installed both server patches.

I time out in milliseconds.

Is anybody able/willing to walk me through this one?

My daughter loves this game.

Cheers and thank you in advance.

You time out in milliseconds? That's unusual. Usually it takes around 30 seconds.

The trigger port is 10052. What model of router do you have, by the way? I use an SMC router and I have no problem playing JJ2 online.

SMC router. what do you put in the public port area? Did you enable your DMZ?
