Ok, really need multiplayer help

Just spend the last two hours trying to get multiplayer to work.

- I've set up the right port to be forwarded for the game.
- I've made my computer a static ip (192.168.2.21)
- I've put my computer into the DMZ
- I've disable the Windows firewall.

Yet I still get the error when I try to host a game about manually forwarding to a port. I even use the Portchecker program and it says that both TCP and UDP are open for that port.

I am past the point of understanding why it's not working. Any help would be much appreciated. Pic is of my router settings.

Then the port should be open and you can disable the automatic port mapping of the game by adding "MapPort=0" (without "") to the [Initialization] section of the SOWGB.ini.

It might be useful for other players to post how you got it working.

cheers Chris

This should be a sticky. Plus the error msg is extremly misleading saying that the port is not open it should give some type of auto port error msg.
