I've got a problem concerning "Direct IP" via a router connection.
Me and a friend of mine have got Routers (mine: SMC Barricade 7004 ABR). After we figured out, that we have to open several ports we decided to open all (for test purposes). After searching the internet we noticed that it could help if we insert "AddressServer="repeater.aom.eso.com"" behind the link. We also cannot establish a "Direct IP Game" with someone having a direct connection to the Internet (without router). It does not matter who's Host and who joins (doesn't work either) Can anybody help us with that problem. We would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

So we both enabled DMZ Host mode (which opens all ports) and retried to connect each other via "Direct IP" game. It didn't work.
We can definitely say that all ports are open because games like GTA2 (old one but still funny) that does have problems with routers too, worked perfect. Also
Now we tried it again. We now saw our real "outside" ip shown as "alternate ip" in the game but we still could not connect to each other.
