The sword and the faith

In the past I've had a Linksys router, which always refused to have its ports forwarded. Now I have a Netgear, that did work, and now that we switched to a new house / internet, refuses to work as well. We aren't going to discuss how to forward ports here, because yes I know how, yes I did it right / followed guides / checked it twice, and it just does not work.

I'd like suggestions for a good wireless capable gaming router that will forward properly. Like to spend about 100$ but its negotiable.

I've been using D-Links for years, and they've worked just fine for me, they're a lot cheaper than 100$ too :P



None.

Every Linksys I've had has failed within a couple of years. They also refused to port forward properly.

Lots of things fail within a couple of years :bleh: (Maybe its not a firmware problem but a user problem that causes the port forward problem because you have two brands not working o.o)

Lol... I use a WUSB54GS, it works like a charm, and hey, it has 2 pros, it can actually port forward, and its cheap :P. Though its slow as hell (im getting 24 mbps, and this is a good day -.-)



None.

I've followed all instructions to the letter. I've tried guides on multiple sites, tried multiple methods, and done the step-by-step on PortForward like, six times this week. It just doesn't work properly. I'm beginning to think my DSL modem has an internal firewall or something.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
