I have a quickstart guide for the router and I've followed the steps in it to configure it. You use a browser to access it via https://ip_adress/startup.html but I just get the "Page can't be displayed message". The ports are open through my personal firewall.
I have found a danish Cisco forum and will post my problem there hoping some expert sees it. I've also contacted the somewhat cumbersome Cisco technical support.
If you do come up with something, Angelito, that could help I'd be grateful (and we could meet at gamespy later today if you've got time), but I guess you'd be better off helping someone else as the problem does not seem trivial (though I hope it is).

If the page can't be displayed, you probably have the wrong IP adress entered. As far as I know, you don't need the "...startup.html" extension at all. Just put in the internal IP of your router (most of the time it is 192.168.1.1, or 192.168.0.1), without any http or such stuff.
Forwarding the ports in your personal firewall doesn't help anything, coz the data from the internet first has to pass your router before it will reach your personal firewall. Placing the application "Gamespyarcade" and "Heroes3" in the exceptionlist of your XP firewall is enough.

My windows xp firewall is deactivated since I use another one.
I can succesfully ping 192.168.1.1 (presumably the router) and 192.168.1.11 (myself).

I am directed to the Google search of "192.168.1.1".

Then this is not your router access IP.

I am very certain that it is. If I browse "192.168.1.1" in Firefox instead I get a "can not connect to server..." message.
If I type the command ipconfig in a command prompt 192.168.1.1 is listed as the standard gateway which should be the router's IP address.
Edit: Unplugging the DSL modem seems to confirm this. There should only be my computer and the router on the network now and I can still ping 192.168.1.1.

Progress. Finally I may have found a way to connect to the router. One can use HyperTerminal (a standard Windows application, never heard of it until today) to establish a connection to the firewall which can then be configured through this terminal emulation program, it works like a command prompt.
This failed however but then I read that you need a special network cable (but, of course) called a roll-over cable. I have a vague notion of hearing about a cross-over cable before and a quick search on the internet revealed that this is not the same (it has to do with how the eight wires connect to the pinouts in the ends; some of them may be "crossed").
I am growing sick and tired of spending so many hours trying to configure the firewall, but luckily I've found the mentioned cable now. Unfortunately it's very short so I'll have to disconnect the router from the DSL modem which means that I'll not have access to the internet in case I'd need more of the enormous amount of documentation Cisco have on their website.
Perhaps It'll work then, I'll try it some other day. Until then I can wonder how many hours I'll have to play H3 online to compensate for the time I've spent configuring the firewall.
At least you learn a little about networking...

I think the easiest way for you could be the program "hamachi", which creates a virtuell network for the players. Everyone who had problems with his router tried this small program and could connect to other hamachi users without any problems. Maybe u try it too.
Here is the link.

Angelito, would hamachi work for me?
Or is my problem a different one?

I have not given up yet and Hamachi makes your system more vulnerable.
Who are currently using Hamachi?

Many players in Gamespy ask for hamachi games every day.

Damnit, well I wanna play with you because you are a good player and a friend (I guess ), so I will stay away from hamachi, and I might try and fix this router problem.

You have to use winzip or winrar to unpack the files.

Check your versions of the game (have it updated), check that if one of you or both have firewalls and if you do configure your firewalls to let game go through. If you guys use any kind of hardware like router or hub check that too as you have to do the same thing like with firewall - let the game run through it. Are you guys behind a NAT, meaning does your provider decides how much trafic you get a month or is it unlimited? If you are behind a NAT and dont control it it might be that your provider holds the cards insetad of you and it might interfere with your gaming. This is rare case tho. Good luck.

By the way to check your ip theres simple way and you dont need any external source to find it out. Go to bottom left start/control panel/network connections/local area connection/support. There you can always read your ip any given time.

It creates sort of a virtual LAN between those who use it as I understand it. It lets hamachi users past your firewall/router. You might have to accept other hamachi users first, but who guarantees that their systems are not vulnerable?
I'm just guessing, I don't know how it works. But the more traffic you accept the more vulnerable your system becomes. Allowing traffic only through the specific ports that H3 needs must be better.
Edit: Wikipedia link.

Hi, i really hope you can help me. I have read through alot of pages to try and find a sollution to my problem. I just wiped of the dust from my heroes 3 complete discs and wanted to play with my friend over the internet. We have tried both Hamachi and Ip connect. None of it works. with hamachi he or I just get an error message and cannot connect. And when trying with Ip it says the ip doesnt exist(which it does!).
Now we are both running Windows Xp, we have tried disabling both our firewalls in Xp, we have opened up ports for heroes (tcp/udp 47624,tcp 28800 to 29100 and upd 2300 to 2400) and opened ports for hamachi. Nothing seems to work for us. We have both updated the game with patch 1.4 (v.4.0.0).
Last thing i can think of , we only have 1 copy of the game and have installed the same cd on both computers, but it should work that way right?
Now, i talked to someone on irc, and he connected straight away on my game through hamachi. so we have run out of ideas and effort on what the problem might be.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
