Yeah J, I did just that. I actually changed to "find serial ports" exited
back to main menu, and then came back to multiplayer. I then showed serial
port data. Then I chose "find a different way", went back to main and then
re-entered. It didn't make any difference.
Papy calls the 2 ports concerned "net_server_port" and "ping" ports, with
the latter getting a 32767 assignment. I'm not sure how these translate to
D-Link's "trigger" and "public" ports that I'm being asked to complete while
setting up a "special application in the advanced menu. I've worked lots of
number combos trying to unlock this mystery, but it's still no dice.
It's funny, I get the race list and ping times swifter than before the
router purchase (I was using an ethernet hub before), but I get the same
message everytime, no matter whose server I try to connect to. 123:error
detected on network device. I'll get about 7 or 8 of them in a string until
it stops.
