Everyone shows as -//-

[tomshype]

Since my dad got a new router (bt home hub) when im in tdu everyone shows up as -//- except one person. i have forwarded all the ports i needed to (here) but that didn't make any diffrence.

 

Any ideas?

I have the same problem. Help?

BT Homehub *spits* Lots of people on Xbox Live have problems with it. Can you sign into it remotely? If you can find your WAN settings and either disable your NAT or set up port forwarding for the necessary ports and you should be OK. I can't help with port numbers as I only know those used by Xbox Live.

Don't bother trying to fix it, mate. Trust me

 

What you can do is:

1. Find a hammer....

 

:D

 

no seriously

1. Plug the old router into the DSL (phoneline)

2. grab an ethernet cable (RJ45)

3. Plug one end into the router, the other end into the home hub

4. DO NOT PLUG THE HOMEHUB INTO THE PHONE SOCKET <<< VERY IMPORTANT

5. Assign an IP address to the HomeHub (I have mine at 192.168.1.254)

6. Disable DHCP on the HomeHub

7. Power up your PC and check all is good.

 

That's exactly how my home network is set up.

Gaming router for me, wireless internet for the family/cat. (Gaming router isn't wireless enabled)

cheers for the help danger but my dad won't let me do that (i dunno why, i had to persuade him to let me forward the ports) so it looks like no more tdu for me.

You should just say to your dad that it won't ruin anything in any way.

 

If anything, the BT home hub is ruining things.
