Hello, I'm not super tech savvy so I might be doing something wrong. But netplay traversal settings was working fine for a while but all of a sudden I couldn't join any games. I can host and people can join me just fine, but I cannot join anyone else. I've tried completely reinstalling dolphin and using the newest version. My friend and I went through the hassle of port forwarding and when he did that I was able to join him finally but that didn't fix it for anyone else and if he isn't doing port fowarding I cannot join him. Is there anyway to go back to how it was so I can join all of my friends? I'm currently trying to join with Dolphin 5.0-321 but the issue is across every version I've tested. EDIT: I forgot to say that I'm using an ethernet connection and I've tried disabling my firewall.
I can host netplay but I cannot join my friends.

Hey, I actually just figured it out with my friend. Sorry for the post (we've been working on this for a few days now) but for anyone who hasn't solved it try going into your router settings and enabling the DMZ setting. The v4 host is the ipv4 address in ipconfig in the command prompt. Hope this helps someone!

Just an FYI, this is a *very* extreme solution to the problem. You're basically opening the system to the internet on every port.
I'm willing to bet this was a simple NAT port mapping issue and could be solved with a single forwarded port, rather than throwing the entire system into the open. 08-31-2018, 10:46 AM

I tried forwarding one port but that didn't seem to solve this issue. Unless I was doing it wrong? I didn't realize this was so extreme. 08-31-2018, 10:53 AM
You'd need to port-forward the ports that Dolphin uses, or ask people to host on the ports you forward.

If you're using the traversal server, port 6262 may need to be forwarded to your machine.
If you're using direct connect, whatever port you set in the UI I think. How to do this varies from router to router. 08-31-2018, 03:34 PM
AFAIK Dolphin Netplay has UPnP support for a while, so, make sure UPnP is enabled in your router, Dolphin will be able to forward the correct ports automatically then...

That's sad, I just gave a try and it works automagically on my router. While keeping the my router setup page open, I could see Dolphin automatically forwarding the correct port when starting NetPlay and also unforwarding it when netplay stopped...
