Online handycap.. once and for all (i hope)

[BioWizard]

I think we all agree that ONLINE on PES4 is very very far of being decent...
Clients get LAG most of the time, networks (or routers) have problems connecting and staying connected...

damn u KONAMI for staying in the almost perfect...
-----

For those who are in a win_xp network and don't understand much of it, were is an explanation for (trying) playing online:

I've read on many threads that u've got to forward your port... but not the explanation... here it goes

Go the PC that provides u the network.. the other room on the house... whatever..
-network connections
-[your connection]
-properties
-advanced
-on windows firewall : settings
-advanced
-[select the connection and click settings]
-ADD : name or ip bla bla bla : 192.168.0.* * = your network address
external port : 5739 UDP
internal port: 5739
OK
do the same on your network connection...

Now u can play online.. at least i can like this.. but only for very short time [7..8..9 minutes in gameplay time (not real time)]

Anyone can help me in this hangup ?? it's almost like a clock.. when it reaches that time... "DISCONNECTED FROM SERVER"

grrrrrrrrr


PS. sorry for my english...

Can't you use port forwarding on your router page? Eg 192.168.0.1 I use to edit options on the router.

this was more for the win_xp network but it's almost the same thing...
don't if u've read this.. if not , hope it'll help:

ROUTER HOWTO:


Playing PES4 PC online behind a router works perfectly, u just need (you MUST do it for being able to host or join an online game) to forward the UDP (and not TCP) port 5739 (port can be changed in PES4 settings) to you local ip adress (usually, "192.168.0.x" or "192.168.1.x").

To do that, open FireFox (or Internet Explorer if you are using that ****) and go to your router's ip adress, ex: http://192.168.0.1 (of yourse, your router's ip adress can be different, but often it's "192.168.0.1" or "192.168.1.1"). Then you'll be asked a password and username, the defalut ones are often "admin" and "12345" or somethnig generic like that, anyway, they must be somwhere in the manual.
Inside the router, you need to find an option called "port redirection" or something else (it can change depending on router's brand), and there you will be able to forward a port to a ip adress. By default, the UDP port you must forward (it's the one PES4 uses, unless you changed it in the settings) is 5739, and it must be forwarded to your local ip adress (the one that is shown in the online menu in PES4). You can find more infos on how to forward a port in your router manual...

In the game u'll still see you local ip, that's just normal, but if you host a game, the client will be able to join you using your external ip adress (which you can get here (if you don't have a static ip, it will change each 24hours, so you need to recheck it every day): http://www.whatismyip.com/ ), and of course joining a game isn't a problem either...

If you have a software firewall (including windows xp's firewall), just shut it down before playing (or somehow manage to open or forward the UDP port 5739), I don't have experience with software firewalls, so I can't help).

when i try to go tothe router's adress it says "forbidden", why?

 

[MasterM]

does it ask for a password? you should have the pass then

 

[surliner]

no it's just a blank screen that says "forbidden". it doesn't ask for anything. sorry if this a stupid question but i don't know **** about port settings. does everybody who has cablemodem have a router? i don't even know what a router is. i have a motorola surfboard cablemodem but i doesn't even have a settings program or some like that. lol, is that a big balled squirrel?
