Author Topic: Port Forwarding issues  (Read 553 times)

No matter what tutorial I follow it just doesn't work. I've tried hamachi, but it messes up my network connectivity. People rarely use tunngle.

I'm starting to run out of options on running servers and stuff.

what's your computer's network address?
the IP4/device identification your comp uses on the router.

port forward noobs always do that part wrong.

you don't simply open up a port(range)
you have to tell the router for what device wants to use that port.

forum search posts by me that talk about port forwarding. I had a bunch of pics posted in a simple how to.

Nope, that doesn't quite seem to be the problem, unless I'm blind and missing something here.

Edit: The problem isn't as much as I didn't follow the tutorials fully, it's just that I did them properly, but there might be something that's affecting my port forwarding capabilities.

Push your PC out of the DMZ if you can. Its a hell a lot easier

DMZ doesn't work either... tried it with a couple of my servers.

Do you have enable UnPn or w/e it is enabled? If it is than disable it. If it isn't than enable it.
DMZ should work, its a guaranteed fix. Sometimes you have to enable the DMZ and then enter your ip4 address.

UPnP is disabled for me, but I've heard that also causes problems sometimes.

DMZ still doesn't work for me,



(Picture of my firewall settings on my router, DMZ IP was from the previous IP I had. I made it static now.)

Enable the DMZ and check all your firewall stuff.

Before we go jumping the gun on this one (I've heard about port trojans and other viruses coming in from enabling DMZ), shouldn't I post my anti-virus software, maybe it might be causing problems.

I have the firewall up, but most of the programs I run servers on are allowed through.

I also use Microsoft Security Essentials. I dunno, it's never given me problems before.

Also another thing that is weird. I can host minecraft and tekkit with ease, but nothing else...

You have a dodgy router, only forwards what it wants. Either you enable that DMZ or you're stuff out of luck. I am outside of the DMZ and I don't have a single virus.

Thing is, I've tried doing that with a valve game (GMod to be specific), it didn't work for anybody.
