Nice one, well give me a shout on msn if you want when you are on and we can play on the same server etc. Also could do the voice thing and try and work as a team especially where the vehicles are concerned if you want?
Don't know what time I will be home yet, but probably get on line for about 8ish at the latest.

NM Bravo, I never managed to get into my game and played like a complete moron
I think I'll keep practicing one or two maps for a while, rather than attempting to learn them all while my KTD ratio plummets incrementally

What os u using? Is it an adsl router? Does that router have firewall/icmp settings etc? Also need to configure/turn off any local firewall.
Its something on ur config somewhere mate and i'm wondering whether its icmp cos I tried pinging u last night and got no response!

The only thing I can think of is its a firewall/router issue. Also you havent got the xp firewall turned on/configured have you?
One possibility mate is I check your router setting via http but that entirely down to you and how much you want it working as I know you dont know me from Adam at the end of the day so wont take offence if you say u dont want me looking at your router lol. Just a thought thats all.

NP m8, I've nothing to hide!!
/me quickly puts his **** onto external HD
I dont use XP's firewall Bravo, I use Norton Pro and its been configured to allow for the Gamevoice ports.
The port forwarding on the Netgear is a dawdle to set up so I doubt its the router playing up. I'm stumped at the min with this Gamevoice software, Rodger Wilco and Teamspeak work fine for me. The only ports I've ever needed to forward before were the ones Bittorrent uses
Worse comes to worse Bravo if I dont get it working by Fri if you could have look at the router interface I'll sort you out with a password np.

OK nice one mate, alternatively we all go back to using roger wilco as everyone else originally suggested. It was me that was the pain in the ar$e and suggested game voice in the first place just because I had moved to it from roger wilco cos found it better quality.
I can get rw setup no problem and keep my mouth shut in future

LOL @ Bravo. Hey if Gamevoice takes up less bandwidth I'm all for getting it working. Plus I hate not having something that others have
I WILL crack this

TS is excellent through firewalls....
We have used it for over a year now and our members have various kit and firewalls and they have no issues. The choice of codecs is far better too tbh.

LOL i'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks like that then I can't have something install and then not work, drives me absolutely barmy until its fixed 
I can't say that it uses less bandwidth cos I have no idea on that at all but to me it breaks up a hell of a lot less and just the whole quality seems better to me than when you talk over rw.
But whatever works for all of us is the way forward and I dont care what it is as long as we can all talk and have a laugh

Yeah Nick, never had probs with it mesel.
One think I meant to ask, who do you use to host the TS server. Is it someone who isnt playing or is a decent ADSL connection OK for hosting and playing?

We tried Team Speak though and had hideous echo on it which made it unusable which is why I suggested game voice. I downloaded it and installed and tried it as thats what everyone was going to use but with so much echo it was terrible Any ideas Nick as to the echo problem?

Same here Bravo, perhaps we should try TS once more. Mr. Footlong makes a good case for its use, its just the hosting I'm wondering about.

Echo is caused by users not getting their sensitity, voice trigger level and output volumes setup correctly
Have a look at what the default channel codec is that you are using on the TS server for the breaking up issue, but that again could be voice trigger level
Both GSM16.4 and the Speex codecs are excellent, but GSM 16.4 is going to be a little heavy for the ISDN user..
We have dedicated 32 player teamspeak servers on our rented box, but before all of that I ran a TS server for us from the office on 20:1 512/256 ADSL with perfectly acceptable results. Used to default that to GSM 16.4 most of the time, but ping spiked our ISDN user to hell back then in game.
Cheers,
Nick

again, the echo is down to headset stup within TS and also quality of headset plays a VERY important part along with soundcard with TS especially.
Before the guys slowly sorted their setups out, some of the stuff was hilarious that we heard. Guys using bog standard ac97 onboard sound for example used to create all sorts of funk down the line, like harleys, choppers etc. Like I said they all sorted themselves out in the end tho.

So how did you set up the server in the office Nick? I'm using NAT behind a snide BT router at work. The BT router doesnt seem to have any configuration options for port forwarding etc. I would happily set up our works server for TS if I could.

If you have a BT black box set up in NAT config you are borked.
The full firmware versions of those are perfect, but in BT firmware form are very dumb.
If it was in Non- NAT setup as you know, you would be fine, but need more firewall gubbins prob.

Damn it, thought so. Hmm, I dont need to use BT black box though. Perhaps it might stop working
Found this on TS site re echo Bravo:
There basicly are two ways echos can occur:
a) Sound from your speakers/headphones being recorded by your microphone.
b) Your sound driver recording all sound that you hear for you.
Now, 'which one do I have' you might be asking yourself...You can quite easily find out, just turn your speakers/headsets off (volume = 0%), and ask your mates if you are still echoing. If you are not, you got (a), else (b).
Howto fix (a):
This type of echo is nearly impossible to fix completely, but you can minimize it greatly if you follow a few general points:
- Switch your speakers off when TeamSpeak is on, use a Headset to hear.
- Use Headphones that shield well, meaning they prevent as much sound as possible from being audible to the outside.
- Try and keep your Microphone as far away as possible from the Headset (or more general, the sound-source).
- Lower the Volume of the sound-source
Howto fix (b):
These echos are produced by your sound-drivers, they should be configurable by your driver too (its not a bug, its a feature). From windows users I have often heard there is a checkbox in one of the recording menus called "what you hear", or "stereomix". If you uncheck this, the driver-echo should be gone. As windows is *insert*curse*, there doesnt seem to be a way to change this on all machines - it depends on your driver/OS combination, you just have to search around. Good luck.
