Direct Connect Trough 2 routers Options

[BlastingBout]

Hi ladies and gentleman,

When playing ROTR I can only get the multiplayer to work without using Direct Connect.
Now I know that I can forward the port on the router and that should enable the direct connect option.

But a few things are still not clear to me:

- Do you need to disable upnp when forwarding a port or can it coexist with a forwarded port?
- Which IP adress should I fill in while enabling the port (using both protocols) ?
- Does it only work with a static IP configuration?
- In the options menu of ROTR which IP adress should I select for playing? the 192.168.x.xxx or the 10.xx.xx.xxx etc. (using the 192 gives the serial in use error while joining)

And when this is all cleared out, the main question:

I'm running my UTP cable from PC to the router on the first floor, the router on the first floor is connected with a UTP to the router on ground level, and this router is connected to the modem.
Do I need to format the same port on the ground level router? And what IP adress should I use for that one because it's on a different gateway.

Other multiplayer games run perfectly fine with a really low ping.

THANKS!

Dont look at riks IP his is a 10.0.0.96, yours is a 192.168.x.x
SWR network is a 10.x.x.x network, dont get confused, u dont need to worry about SWR IP at all

give yourself a static 192.168.x.x number, and then basically where rik has his 10.0.0.96 IP, that is where your 192.168.x.x number goes instead, obviously your router might look different but its same concept

Name: can be anything
Protocol: TCP/UDP
WAN Port: 19850 (same as the port you have in the swr launcher) (u can change this too)
LAN Port: same as WAN
Destination IP: YOUR IP of PC

rik tends to confuse the shit out of everyone

just post a picture of the port forwarding section in your router, and someone will tell you what numbers to put where if u need more help
