    I have never heard of a USB modem of any kind. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> I am using a ethernet uplink and I got no problems at all. U do not need a USB modem or anything like a USB to play. SPQR

    I hope u dont do as a person we tried to help. (no name calling) He made the mistake to press the LAN button instead of the Internet BUtton when he went to the game. U might need to open some ports on your firewall if u are behind a router. That might be a option why u cannot connect to the servers. (I think its he port # 2301 and 2302 but not sure! read the Read ME! file or ask around in here.) SPQR

    ok mr.devil, at frst what u mean with the first 2 lines of text ?? no name calling? anyway, i did http://my.ip.adres.<img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> and it went to my Router 4-port page where i can change the settings and stuff like that. and there it was DMZ demilitirazied zone or something. i know that means u put ur firewall kinda out, b ut how do u do that, cuz when i enter my OWN ip adres it doesnt save or anything? what am i to do? PLEASE HELP!! thank you <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Peace out, Commander

    Not u or aything. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> I and alot of other peps where talknig to a guy, asked us the sam question: &quot;Why doesnt it go?&quot; He had forgot to click the &quot;Internet&quot; button when he joined the &quot;Multiplayer&quot;, instead he clicked the &quot;LAN&quot; button and thus not being able to get any info from the net. Dont touch the DMZ... What router u got? u should go to a Virtual IP or UDP ports or something like that.. There u should be able to tell what ports u want to open, example 80 (Http), 21 (FTP).. 21000-28000 (Counter-Strike). And u should also be able to choose to what IP u would let those ports be opened for.. your IP then.. 192.168.x.x. (your internal IP, not your ISP-IP.) First, update the Firmwae of the router to the newest. Most old versions got tons of bugs and things. (Mine wasnt able to config the Firewall.. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>) I dont remeber what ports there are that u need to open for FL, but it says in the Read Me! file and u can ask it here for an answer.

    i see u r also online just like me, lets make an little chat <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> and now i see what u ment with that no calling. lol no i dont do that, i always do internet <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> anywayz, how u mean with UDP ports or hmmm that other thingie virtual IP yeah, and hmmmmm how can u see what ur internal; IP is and whats the ip of the router? Peace out, Commander i am tha Commander of the space forces of the Amsterdam Sector, its located north of the Kusari Sector. or hmmmmm naaah <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle><img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

    The ports to open are: 2302-2304. to see what Internal IP u got, press Start, select Run, and write ipconfig. That would give u a IP-adress, a Subnetmask and a Default Gateway. The IP is your Internal-IP adress. (Usually something like 192.168.1.5) might varie on the 1 and 5. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> SPQR

    USB Modems can be trouble, when i had my modem plugged into a USB port, whenever i was doing stuff online for a few hours it would reboot my computer without warning <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Since i put it in the ethernet card it has been fine. If you search microsoft.com you will see there are problems with USB modems...
