sure you entered in the ports, but for what server IP address did you forward them for? i think that is where everyone is making mistakes.
What do you mean by server IP?
Do you mean my wireless internet connection TCP/IP protocol properties? If you do, then thats not the problem. I've tried at least 15 different combinations that people said could work, (yes, including the one in the tutorial) but never did.
For the record, I don't think this problem is very easy to figure out. I've been fiddling with it for hours each day for the past week and a half, but nothing changes. And I'd say I'm pretty handy with this kind of thing.
