Help / Re: The usual "I can't port forward thread".

Sorry, sir, but you were asking for help and I was trying to offer some general advice on the subject. Did you ever clearly state your level of experience in the first post for people to see?

Nope, but I clearly did state that I followed the guides I found on the boards, which include of course Badspot's static IP guide. Check my first post if you don't believe me.

Anyway, problem solved, I see no reason for us to keep arguing on the subject.

Sure, if you have msn/aim it would be a lot easier.

I'll PM you with my MSN account address soon. I'm not always on, but yes, that'd save us a lot of time.

Make sure you follow step 3 of Badspot's Guide to set a static IP.

Sir, it's almost 2 years that I've been using a static IP to allow some of my applications to port-forward. I'm not an expert at these things, but not a total newbie either.

I feel extremely sorry to bump this thread, but since my situation still hasn't been resolved I think it's the best thing to do.

Whoa, fast reply. :o

Since I've already portforwarded a few times I've used the default one; when earning no result, I went on portforward.com and followed the instructions up there, again with no result.

I am starting to think that the problem lies within the user and not within the hardware itself, but I still don't feel like leaving my router configuration in the hands of other people. :p Let's see if we can solve this problem without remote access. If everything else fails, I'll give you a call.

Help / The usual "I can't port forward thread".

Hello, it's been a few days I've purchased Blockland and I'm really enjoying it.
The only thing that could make my gaming experience better would be the ability to host my own games, which, sadly, I am not able to.
I've followed the forwarding guide I've found on these boards, yet the only change in situation I've obtained is that my port test, instead of returning to me that ports 28000 to 28030 are closed, says that they time out when it tries to connect, which changes nothing - no one is able to join my game. I'm using a Netgear DG834G v2, if that's any help.

Help would be appreciated. Bye. ;)
