I'm using a linksys router and can't get online for bf1942..any suggestions?
Question
I Cannot see any servers listed in the multiplayer list.
Answer
This indicates some type of Firewall or Port blocking taking place. Firewall Software, Routers or certain ISP configurations can all have this result. Make sure that any Firewall software is disabled and if using a router that it is properly configured. If using a router as a test connect the PC directly to the internet modem instead. Finally contact the ISP to make sure they do not block the ports that the game needs. A list of these ports is found in the back of the install guide on page 13.
You need to enable port 14567 on your router, and DMZ hosting. This should allow you to view games online.
Allow UDP Port 14567
Allow UDP Port 14690
Allow UDP 22000 (This is only for LAN games, and used by computers on the same network)
Allow UDP range 23000-23009
