Well, I use Earthlink and they gave me a ZyXel Prestige 600 series to use as my modem. My Wireless router is a Buffalo WHR-G54S. I'm trying to play Baldur's Gate 2 ucing TCP/IP over Gamespy.

Those are the two port forwards required for both the modem and router to allow BG2 to play on multiplayer. I opened up all the ports necessary, but the game still won't connect to multiplayer sessions.

I have no clue what I'm doing, I've followed all the instructions on both webpages but still nothing works. I find my static ip and then use it, but no dice.

Can anyone help me out here? I can be more specific if required, my mind is just numb from all the attempts of making multiplayer work.

If you only connect through the buffalo and no pc's are directly connected to the modem just dmz your modem to your buffalo and then do the necessary portforwarding on the buffalo.
