mp: disconnect with red connect warn help?
OK, I asked this question over in the MP forum, but didn't get much back.
I have tried to join a number of MP servers, but as soon as I leave the start planet and hit space, I see the flashing connection warning up in the left corner. If I attempt to dock with something I am immediately disconnected, if I try to type a message or just hang out I get a couple more seconds until I am disconnected.
I have tried both mapping the tcp and udp ports 2300-2400 and the dx7 and dx8 server port (forget the number) to pass to my w2k box, have also let them through passively. I have tried this with my watchguard SOHO router, a dlink 704p router and cabled directly to my cable modem.
I also have run a local server on my lan and can connect to that and play fine. I have connected to servers that are a 24ms ping from me and are on the 12.247.x.x comcast net where I am also served.
Have completely wiped out and reinstalled the game a couple times, ran dxdiag and the directplay test local with no issues.
w2k sp3, wmp7.1, dx9.0a, 1g ram, athlon xp 2200+, nvidia gf4 ti4600 video and the 41.09 drivers, comcast cable on a motorola sb4200 router.
Traceroute and ping appear to be fine. No strange spikes or reroutes when the game is up.
Any ideas or suggestions?
