OnLive - UK Launch

"The 3CRWDR101A-75 will not allow you to forward enough ports, to run OnLive. You should try using the DMZ portion of this router if it is available. Alternatively you can try switching the router to bridged mode. You will need to contact your ISP to switch to bridged mode, so they can make the required changed on their end."

PC gaming sucks so hard. This was supposed to make it easy, but it seems I have to buy a new router. The router works fine for everything else though. Every time I try PC gaming I have to fiddle around for ages to get it to work. This time I didn't even get as far as it working And no, I'm not putting my PC in the DMZ thank you very much - are you frickin nuts? What sort of crazy advice is that to be giving out.

Tested my connection last night. Multiple runs. 5.2gb 22 ping no jitter. Fired up online "your connection keeps dropping so you can't play onlive"

In a few years this might be viable for me.

What router have you got?

Whatever Be give you. Think it's a Thomson of some description?

Infinity Ward suggested I put my PC in the DMZ in order to make it the right NAT type when in fact all I needed to do was tell Windows to allow MW2.exe to talk on all ports.

Ditch it and get a D-Link. Had nothing but problems with that router for gaming, you'll probably find Xbox Live and OnLive work better for it.
