Thanks for the advice & info. I really wouldn't know what I was doing in the service settings but I may get the courage to see what I can see & attempt some tweaks. If it's mostly code numbers..... hmmmmmm I might give it a look. Thanks agian.

Inside this menu is it easy to navigate?I mean could you enter it & just look & see the settings? I'm only interested in 1 setting. How do you get out, re enter the code again?

I have the Samsung HL-S5088W 1080p DLP. #1 Does anyone know the service code for this set? Service guy came & replaced my light engine & while in service mode he softened up the edges claiming it would be less jaggy but I think it needs to be set back (looks a little soft around edges even...

Yes Vsync is enabled. Without Vsync theres little tear lines that pop up. Vsync fixed that. The problem I'm having is a thicker "wave" type roll. Around the center of the screen. It rolls upward but it's not constant. I've been playing now at 1360X768 & I haven't noticed it. Could it be my PC...

I've been playing Half-Life Episode1 on my PC. I set the resolution to 1920X1080 & it looks awesome. Problem is, every so often a wave rolls up the scrren. What cuasing this? I'm playing on a Samsung 1080p DLP. I'm running the game with a 7800Gt GPU (just one). I would like to play at this res...

Alright, finally got it to work. I still would like to know the answers to the questions above. I disabled my AV/firewall software after forwarding the ports I fired up the game & winthin minutes a player joined.

This is what led me to the TCP/IP http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm Step 8 & following

Which is really my routers LAN IP? So this is the ip address I need to forward ports to?? (trying to undertsand). Under Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties I assigned a static ip address, subnet mask, default gateway, & DNS server. I just matched it to what I found when I ran the command...

OK, I've asked this before but I want to make sure I'm correct. When I'm forwarding ports, I need to enter my"LAN IP address" for the Private IP right? So, my LAN IP address is what you call my internal IP adress? Oh, I called my ISP today & they said they do not block any ports or anything.

I tried forwarding the ports but it didn't work so I'm thinking it's either my software firewall or cable modem/isp interfering. I'm still shooting in the dark though. I will try direct connecting to my PC & set my PC-cillin to "direct connection". Would this protect me? Is 1 firewall enough?

Still the same ol problem. I work on it till I exhaust every effort & get so frustrated till I'm ready to give up. I forget about it for awhile then try again. I still can't host a MP game where others can see it & join. Why is it so hard to host games? Still not sure what the problem is. I...

So the problem solely lies with my router config & possibly my software antivirus? Do I still need to do the IP passthrough you spoke of before? Thanks for the help. I'll work on it some more over the weekend.

So if I've assigned my Computer a 192.168.0.200 address on my network that will be the IP address I forward ports to? SO that would allow internet users to connect to my internal ip address assigned by my ISP? Also, about Antivirus/firewall software. Should I put the settings to Low...

OK I can open a range of ports under firewall settings. Q. When I enter my LAN IP to forward the port to do I enter my ISP IP or just my 192.168.x that I have set up for static DHCP?
