Still don't understand whats wrong with Hamachi.
It takes less time, it's easier, I mean really.

Lol it's funny because it took me like 5 minutes to download hamachi, set it up, create a room, and have people join compared to 45 seconds of forwarding a single port and then hosting

Heh, funny how you're comparing starting from scratch with hamachi to experienced port forwarding.

Very inaccurate. Assuming a starting-from-scratch port forward... you need to find your gateway, need to find the default username and password for that model. if the model isn't listed on the gateway login, you have to get your ass up and find the router. You then have to locate the tab that refers to port forwarding, which might not be conveniently named. port forward, reset router
Let me add this up in minimum times.

• Open CMD and find gateway:Took me 15 seconds.
[0]Open gateway assuming open browser, opening new tab:5 seconds

• Locate username and password for Linksys WRT54G. This assumes you have a common router, and you know what model it is. If you don't, or cannot find the user and pass quickly, count on minutes of searching. Conveniently, the wrt54g is at the top, listed in google search:10 seconds
[0]Find Port forwarding:Perhaps it's Applications and Gaming, or maybe it's access restrictions? Open both in new tabs:4 seconds, tops

• scan pages to determine which one you need, starting with access restrictions cause it's on the left:3 seconds
[0]Port forward, opening cmd you didn't close yet to find your ip (Assuming you're not using static IP's):30 seconds

• resetting router:10-30 seconds, depending on router.

Total:15+20+10+4+3+30+15 = 97 seconds, or a minute and thirty-seven seconds.
Which is, for convenience sake, more than twice as long as your estimate.

Your argument is invalid.

[.::Taboo::.]

yet still less than 5 minutes whoa-ho!

[Lugnut]

This is assuming the person doing the port forwarding is not a complete imbecile.
If they are, or it is their very first time forwarding, it could easily go upwards of ten minutes, or more if they don't know EXACTLY what to search for.


My main point was that his figures were inaccurate.

[.::Taboo::.]

if that's the case they have no business hosting in the first place. :B

[Deus Ex]

Dear god the idiocy.
Nevermind that, my friend's NPCs aren't respawning. Anyone know anything about that?

[Messes]

Lugnut, my argument is perfectly valid. Not my fault you are slow. Holy hell, 45 seconds more wow!

The fact that you actually typed all that out, Lugnut, and did everything to add up the time for something so insignificant just blows me away. I mean wow. But i'll play your little game.

If it takes you 15 seconds to open command prompt and type ipconfig then you're literally autistic. It takes me, counting, 3.5 seconds to do that. Also, I've never had to restart my router, nor has anyone else I've ever done it to via join.me or teamviewer. You're wrong on another "10-30" seconds. Also, if it takes you 30 seconds to click portforwarding, Type "Terraria, 7777, 7777" and click both UDP and TCP then add your last IP figures, you're doing something wrong again as I counted that as 11 seconds.

ITT: You're still dumb

[.::Taboo::.]

what
a minute twenty is still less than the apparent five minutes to use hamachi, that's what i said
i never said anything of that anyway
quit getting so worked up about it lol

[Messes]

oops sorry taboo i thought I quoted Lugnut, you made a perfectly reasonable argument for me, not against me.

Since we're on the topic of port forwarding here....
At the port forwarding rules, what IP address do I put? My internal IP of my computer, my external IP that I give out, or another address?

If it looks anything like this



the IP address I think you're referring to is the one on here. Make sure the ending number is that of your IPv4 address. You can find it by opening command prompt and typing ipconfig, then finding your connection.



that should be most common, and the port forwarding thing obviously might look different if you have a different brand of router
