Hi everyone,
I'm having absolutely no luck connecting to wormNET. I have a Linksys WAG354G router and have followed the guide given here (http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WAG354G/Worms_Armageddon.htm) to set up the router.
I used 64 for the final IP number as this is what the game seemed to detect. The only difference is I used worms1, worms2 and worms3 in the "Application" boxes instead of "WormsArma" as given in this guide but I don't think that should make a difference.
Now I am sure I have done all I need to do here, but I still can't connect. I can only think it is because the guide doesn't explain how to set up the configuration in the game itself. Basically I now have my internal IP (the 192.168.1.64 address), a default Gateway IP and also my IP as viewed externally (if I go to one of those 'what's my ip' sites). I have no idea which 2 of these 3 I need to put into the boxes on the configuration screen in the game, nor do I know which box needs which.
I presume I need to activate the Firewall Support on the lef hand side of the config screen, but which IP goes in the box? What port number do I put in the box below that? Which IP goes in the 'My IP' box on the right? Do I need to force it?
I've left it with the 192.168.1.64 IP in the right hand box and left the firewall section empty and this does at least get me as far as the login screen, but then I get an error about not connecting to the server. If I do ANYTHING else at all (i.e. fiddle with the Firewall section of put another IP in the 'My IP' box) then I can't even get that far.
Basically I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've found a number of guides for setting up the router but have found none that actually tell you how to set up the in-game configuration so I can only presume I'm doing something wrong there.
