Author Topic: Help!!! I cannot port foward!!!  (Read 1355 times)

I did the tut already so a moderator does not have to show me the link. But I tried all of the things badspot gave me (yes even the find your gateway thing) And by the way I tried typing command in the Run thing and it did not show the command prompt thing!!! Here is my info of my plt I know so far...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company:Acer
Type: Gaming Laptop
What I use:Windows Seven
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All I know so far. So if you have the same  problem go to the pole. If you have a solution go to the pole and choose I have a solution (Remember the info may help on identifying the Laptop / Pc
why do I  say pc?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well... I was just wondering if it is the same as a windows 7 computer. If it is make SURE you say I have a solution in the pole. And if you have the same problem..... Make SURE you say Me too in the poll. I hope this help topic well... HELPS and btw make sure you notify yourself if you have the same problem incase you have the same problem. And what I mean on a windows 7 computer maybe the same AND you have a solution.

Version 14 is out.

The main new feature is that port forwarding is no longer necessary for most people.

Enjoy hosting your own server.

What kind of internet connection do you have

Admin Page, Advanced, UPnP, Enable.

Portforward.com< go there


SHould be Like 192.168.1.1 or 2.2 OR 1.100 OR 102 Depending where you fall inline on the Net work
Go to start Open your Command Prompt and type IPConfig It will show you.

It'd help to know what router you have. If you can't find that out, and there is somewhere to put ports in, post a picture of it.

As far as I know, all household routers have a web interface. This means the type of computer you have doesn't matter when it comes to port forwarding.

To get to your router administration page, type your routers IPV4 address into your favorite web browser.
If you don't know the IP address of your router, open up command prompt and type ipconfig, somewhere in that stream of information there should be a "default gateway" or "local gateway", that is generally your router's IP.

You will then be prompted for a username and password, there is various lists of default ones hanging about on the internet, however if these have been changed you will need to contact the people who set up your router (parents?).

The easier way of doing things I would say is enabling UPnP, this means you do not need to port forward, and avoids having to re-forward for computer changes; each router will enable this differently but usually it is under the "advanced" tab as MillCzarr said. (Note, if your router randomizes UDP ports, this will not work. Some routers also do not support UPnP)

Other than that, follow the tutorial on www.portforward.com for your router.
