The file should look now something similar to this:ĥ. In our example the first trigger port was 27901 so the line will be:Ĥ. You have to add a new line FirewallPortOverride that specifies the first of the trigger ports that you already defined when setting up your firewall. Then go to the folder "Command and Conquer Generals Data" and double click in the file named Options.ini.ģ. Go to the first computer that you are going to use to play Generals and open the My Documents folder. Now you have setup each of the computers so each one uses a specific port in your firewall to initiate the connections.ġ. Once you are done click the "Apply" button.Ĥ. Repeat this process for each computer connected to your router that will be used to play Generals online.ĥ. In our case we defined a range of 10 ports per connection between 2990.Ĥ. Once again, do not use any standard ports or a range that might include a standard port. Linksys routers seem to work correctly if you provide a range with 10 ports, however other firewalls might need wider ranges. In "Incoming Port Range" you have to specify the ports that the router will enable whenever the computer establishes a connection through the trigger port. In the picture below you can see we used ports 27901 to 27904.ģ. It is important not to use a standard port. In our case we only need one per computer therefore we will enter the same port number in both boxes. "Trigger Port Range" specifies which ports are used to initiate the connection. We suggest you to use Generals1, Generals2, etc, or the computer name for that connection.Ģ.
It can be anything this is just so you can differentiate them. In "Application Name" enter the name of the first connection. Here you have to setup one rule per computer connected to the router that will be used to play Generals.ġ. At the bottom of that screen will be a button named "Port Triggering". Click on the tab named "Advanced settings." Then click on the tab named "Forwarding". Now you should be at the main menu of the Linksys setup program.
This can be found it in your Linksys instruction manual.Ģ.
