Hello fellow Pinoys!

I’m a SmartBro subscriber in Cagayan de Oro city, and I’m getting decent speeds (about 300kbps down, 200kbps up as measured by http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ ). I got this connection to basically play online games, and not the average Ragnarok or Gunbound either but something along the lines of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and Falcon 4 Allied Force.

So far, I am able to fly MSFS2004, and I am able to connect and play on Neverwinter Nights servers. However, I can only see Falcon 4 servers but cannot connect to them — I keep getting timed out.

Here’s a quote from somebody in-the-know about these sims:

And state that…

MS Flightsimulator ports work:
Flight Simulator 2000 2300-2400,47624 2300-2400
Flight Simulator 2002 2300-2400,47624 2300-2400
Flight Simulator 2004 6073,23456

but not Falcon4 which require:
ports 2934 and 2935 for protocols TCP and UDP.

See if someone can help you with either the ISP or knows the secret to forwarding ports over this wireless ISP and SmartBro technology (which might have its own port forwarding or DMZ built-in).

I called the tech support a few months back, and they say that they are not blocking any ports, but testing port connection via eDonkey and other peer-to-peer programs shows that they cannot access such ports.

Does anyone know how to get around this?

As a temporary workaround, I am able to fly with Falcon 4 users by downloading and installing Hamachi (http://www.hamachi.cc/) to fly in a virtual private network (VPN). The downside is that everybody I play with MUST have Hamachi installed to join, and even the server we are using must have Hamachi.

This is really disappointing since judging by my connection speeds, I should be able to fly online and enjoy these sims (and this broadband connection), but for some reason, I cannot do so. I suspect the culprit to be one of the following:
1. SmartBro really IS blocking the required ports
2. It’s that NAT system SmartBro uses
3. It’s the IP that SmartBro gives me (note that static IP doesn’t solve my issues)

I hope somebody can help! Thank you in advance!

PoE (Power over Ethernet)

Sep 1, 2006 Author: fernits | Filed under: Technical Advice, Wifi Information

I’ve been researching about canopy antenna if it support the PoE and I could not find a complete information if this antenna does support PoE. I am planning to put a wireless router/switch that support PoE (PS) so that I will not be using the power supply that comes with the canopy antenna.

Anyone knows the model of canopy antenna we are using now?
Anyone has the info for this?

To give you an idea.

Canopy AP SM down

Sep 1, 2006 Author: wireless57Ghz | Filed under: Technical Advice

Hi, I bought my own AP SM canopy modules to use from my office to home, since i have ADSL at the office. Distance is 1 Km and it worked great at the begining, now after a year or so, i have problems, very high pings, delays, it has gotten worse and now it only works for a minute or so and goes down.

I reset the radios (5.7 Ghz) with the RJ-11 jumper for both the AP and SM, but when i try to chage the default IP (169.254.1.1) it takes the change, on the “configuration” software but when i try to get access to the Canopy screen with the new IP, i just cannot access, the only way i can regain access is if i reset the radios again to the default IP… yes i save the changes and Reboot :)
I have no experience at all with canopy this is my first round with the system :)

Any ideas? i would appreciate the help.

Thanks guys!
