UPnP - Works in Win, not in OS X

Post by Mr T »

Have downloaded WarZone ver. 2.3.9 on both my mac (OS X 10.6.8) and my PC (Win XP).
Both machine are connected to the internet at the exact same way. (The mac can also be connected by WiFi. Same result.)

Now to the problem:
When I starting a server on the Mac, It say that It can't show me in the lobby and that I have to turn on UPnP. But if I do the same on the PCn it works fine!
So either it is something I missed in the OS X system (which I hope is the problem), or it something with the mac version or WZ2100.
Anyone else that have this problem ?

Check your firewall settings (in the security system pref pane); also try using the beta.

With the firewall off, the game seams to work fine (don't get any error).
I can see in the settings that wz2100 is allowed incoming traffic. Isn't that enough ?

Thx dark180 for the help

Likely it means that the wz2100 that is listed as being allowed through the firewall is not the one you currently have; every time you update your version it will need to be reauthorized.

Can't get it to work other then to turn of the firewall.

Thx for helping my out, even if the problem was not a WZ 2100 problem.
