I'm still confused with net play for ZSNES. At least I know how to get my I.P. address without going on the internet :lol: I will fully learn someday though :shock:

Hello!

Netplay don´t work for me with Zsnes 1.42 or newer, but perfect with 1.41 and the program "Zbattle.exe". Try it. You don´t need IP-numbers :)

UDP/TCP protocol

Post by Kaison »

Hi. I can understand and fill in everything just fine except there is no protocol selection in my router administration page. It just has Service Name, Start Port, End Port and Server IP Address. Whenever I try to connect to a game with someone in ZBattle it just says waiting for client and will not connect. The TCP method works only sometimes but I would be happy if the UDP issue could be resolved.

You have to know your own router software first. The info has already been provided to fill in the blanks (even though the reference screens are not the same as your router, it is the basic idea that you need to understand).

You need to look for what you need for yourself.. just find a section where you have to enter a port..

Try Advanced Settings->Virtual Server/Special Application/Client Filtering

You need 1.42(n) or prior. If you heeded any attention to the docs or any ZSNES annoucement that netplay has been disabled for a while now.

I have my Belkin Wireless G router settings under Virtual Service to enable TCP and UDP ports 7845 and TCP 4000 (For use with zbattle) but I can't seem to actually play.

Whenever I host, it says "Found client" but then stops. Then I tried connecting and it said connection successful then stops.

I also have set my software firewall (just windows firewall) up to allow those ports and also even tried it with that off, still no luck.

Anything else Im missing?

Ok well, I'm pretty well computer oriented, and i have a speedstream 6520 router/modem. Now, i assumed opening the specific port of 7845 was through the Port Mapping option, since its the only port related option in my router set up , i put a TCP, and UDP port under 7845 , and still nothing works, i've been reading tutorials on this, and called my provider, and still didn't get a f#$@@%^ solution, can anyone help me on this ?

Try setting a static ip ( http://www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm ). My friend and I both set a static IP, then did the port forwarding for ZSNES, and it work.

Note: After you're done setting the static ip, remember to change the one in your router's port forwarding to match the static ip.

I have a Linksys WRT56G Wireless Router

Post by Keleborzik »

I type the application name, the start and end port, the protocol and the ip address. When I hit 'Enable', I get this message: "You cannot use the router ip, network broadcast address." I've tried my private IP address and i've tried "192.168.1.0". What am I doing wrong?

"192.168.1.0" can't be your private IP address.

This is one of those instances that reading the manual for your router's software would be handy.

"192-168-1-1" has some good router configuration tips. These may be handy.

IIRC, the server IP address is supposed to be the computer on the local network's IP, not the other person you are trying to connect to.

No, the LAN IP of your machine.

ex: if it's 192.168.1.95 that's what you input into the box.

(ps try typing ipconfig in the command prompt to find out what your LAN IP is.)
