maybe you need to set the second router as destination in the first router...
maybe just give me access to it so i can fix it ;)

why don't u just use the first one?


Well, the FioS one we have to have, otherwise our internet doesn't work. But it's a piece of crap. We get 95% loss on it, so we connect them to each other so it works better.
As to George, if you read my first post, I said I had the same setups on both, aka, they're both fowarded.
And I haven't a clue how they're connected. lol.

Cant host with two routers. Its that simple.

You *CAN* fix it somehow, but its not easy.

First IP on first router is your internal ip.
Second IP on Second router is your external ip

Well, uh, *what* IP am I looking for? The internal or external and if it's the external or internal how do I find it?

IPConfig doesn't work. I do cmd and ipconfig /all, it gives me the same ip I think I have, which, I don't obviously.

Do you have a Static or DHCP connection?

Static means your IP always stays the same and requires specific DNS server and TCP/IP Config. DHCP does this automatically.

Do your routers have separate IP addresses?

Such as Router A has 192.168.0.1 and Router B has 192.168.1.1

Do you know if your ISP has different NAT Translations than your routers? (If so you screwed from hosting)

I assume that you are wired instead of wireless. But I'm still trying to figure out why you are using 2 routers to begin with, unless your modem is a router in itself but is just a piece of crap. Oh well, I'll help you best I can.

The best way to find the IP of your routers would be to do this.

Start --> Run --> cmd

C:\tracert http://www.wc3edit.net

This will give you each hop from your computer. You usually want to look for the 192.168.x.x and this will be your router. So let's say your hooked directly into router A. The first hop will be to it, then the next hop will be Router B and then it will skip along until it reaches wc3edit.net.

However if you get a * * * * at the first or second hop, your routers are not communicating properly and this is where your problems is at.

If you run into this kind of problem just PM me or write back here, and I'll see what I can do. We may have to do some proper subnetting to get you working. But like I said, if it is NAT Translations from your ISP, there is nothing we can do, I had that problem with my last ISP.

I'm a networking major so I should be able to get your problem solved through some trial and error.

Its the freaking computer, all computers have different things

My friends old computer could access games that most ppl would drop from and he couldnt host

He got a new computer, had all the same crap, and was able to host but couldnt join certain games

O And yes routers and modems can also affect hosting probabillitys, and WHY THE HECK DO U NEED 2 ROUTERS?
