ok, on to stage 2 which is the start of our aa-specific application.

It wont interfere with the existing method, so if it doesnt work for you, just uninstall it.

download the installer here:

setup.exe

Obviously scan it with AV first if you are paranoid!

Once installed, launch the game using the links in the start menu.

Please report if it works for you. I DONT anticipate this working for commando et al who are experiencing the red blob of doom on phase 1, although I could always be pleasantly surprised!

Have fun, and let us know as much feedback as possible.


Changelog:

0.2 -Alpha 2:
Recoded and added installer to start menu
Added airattack specific pre-entered options
Removed un-needed functionality.

Bug reports to be submitted to this thread only please.

Just tryed it and it works great Nice one Top and Ed

all i did was install it and then whet to programmes and clicked

activate upnp settings and open browser

simple as

btw: this tool should also work with O2 routers (e.g. 02wirelessbox).

Nice and superb end. I like it. My friend wanted to try it as well. Great job!

Hiya,

Opened the "Activate uPnP settings and open browser" shortcut, but I get this message: "Could not add port mapping (Action Failed)"

Note I've not done anything in the first solution on that other thread.

Let me know if there's any info I can supply.

Hi Gelp, thanks for trying.

Please try this version. It is exactly the same but has some more informative output. I think it would also help, if provide us with some more information about your network.

Is uPnP activated on your router?

Which other devices which may also be uPnP capable are in your network?

Which IP address has your router?

Which IP address has your PC?

How many network devices has your PC?




PS: Since I'm to stupid to attach a file here, I will e-mail it to you.

this board dosn't allow it

Actually the board does, the CC doesnt allow it

Hi TopSchrott m8. Since I'm stupid... I haven't much of a clue as to what half the above means or where I find it.
However, I've had a nosey through my router settings, and I might have answered your questions




If you use MSN Messenger, find me on there (Gelp - chris.bush@btinternet.com) and I'll be happy to let you see what I see, as it might be easier than pasting stuff here

Hi,

thanks for trying Gelp. Especially the output of the program did help a lot. Somehow it thinks that your (local) IP is 0.0.0.0 which is of course wrong. Therefore your BT Home Hub is not allowing the port forwarding.

But this is good news. I will try to fix this somehow


TopSchrott

Interesting m8. Whenever I've done port forwarding in the router settings I've had it fail to work. Although sometimes it has. It's odd!

i have the same problem
but when i ran upnp mapping
i got checkscript error

Oooh I've been thick. I do have another device connected to my BTHomeHub, and that's my BTVision Box and is connected by ethernet through my power sockets.
BUT I still get the same error message when I disconnect the BT Vision Box and run the file

@zee1: When do you exactly get that checkscript error? Did you install the software from the link Animals posted (setup.exe)? Which operating system do you use?


@Gelp: Sorry m8, unfortunately my time is running out for today. Apologies, I will try to get a next version for tomorrow. But don't be worried, my application did find your BT Homehub. The only problem is that it failed to find out your IP address (do you use any antivirus software on your system? Or maybe a special firewall?). Anyway, nothing we can't solve



Cheers,

TopSchrott

No rush TopSchrott m8.
I have AVG 8 antivirus, and the only firewall I have is Windows XP SP2 Firewall.

Well I'm very impressed, Topschrott sent me another file today and it works perfectly. I can now play AA on my BTHomeHub, no more limited bandwidth modem, and saves me a fair bit of connection swapping.

Nice one Toppy you clever chappie

Why am I not getting problems connecting with AA when using my BTHome Hub which is then hard wired into a netgear wifi router which serves my hard wired xbox 360.
Is the netgear forwarding the port back to the home hub in some way?
Have not installed the port forwarding software yet but I can get into AA every time anyway.
Slopes

Hey up Martin, good to see you on m8

must be that time of the month again

wot?

Is the BTHomeHub then used as Modem? How is your BT Homehub connected? Is AA also working when not using the Netgear?

I have to say, some stuff in the BT Homehub is totally broken, especially concerning UDP, NAT und port forwarding. So it is of course hard to tell why it sometimes work... or not at all.

TopSchrott

Hi Top the bthomehub has the adsl in from phone line the netgear is cat 5 connected to the homehub I havent tried turning the netgear off to see if home hub will work on its own will give it a try tommorow pm if thats ok.
I do however use the homehub to connect im guessing the netgear is forwarding the port required for AA back to the home hub which is how im getting in connecting to the home hubs wireless network.
Ohh Hi Myst & Hi Nemo respect to ya both.

Martin
ps All I need is to stop my lagg

Hi all,


here is the next version of the AirAttack uPnP Configuration tool. It will use an alternative way of guessing your IP address if the first method failed.

As a reminder, you might need that tool in order to play AirAttack if you have a Thomson based router (e.g. BT Homehub or O2 Wirelessbox).

Give it a try: setup.exe


And please let Animal and me know about failures or success.


TopSchrott

tried it
got further
could not add port mapping
action failed
your ip is ........(whatever)
upnp url is .....(differnt)/upnp/control/igd/wanpppc-1-1-1
ty for yr help
zee

I would rather like to know what the IP addresses are Or basically just if they are right.

I have a TG585v7 and no problems. If the IPs are both correct, I can only imagine that uPNP is somehow not activate. So I better ask it. Is uPNP activated in your router? Are there any manual port forwarding? What is the exact name of your router (is it also TG585?)

Best regards,

TopSchrott
