Need help hosting.

[Jubel]

I am not able to host servers, so I am upset about this.
However I have found a way to crack into the router and change things, yet I have no idea what button to press. Heres what I see:



It was not on Disable UPnP, and I was wondering that should I apply that, then disable it in Blockland too?

my advice:
  - Disable UPnP
  - do port forwarding  -- you will need to find the documentation for your router in order to do this.
This works best because your server will show up with a ping and in general it seems to work better.

but if you cant or wont setup port forwarding, pick the 2nd option: "Enable Discovery and Advertisement only"

I portforwarded, and UPnP is disabled, however it still doesn't work.
What to do?

You could try with UNUP enabled
(On router and ingame)

Okay, I have a server up with a very obvious title.

then your port forward wasnt done right.

or windows firewall (or some other firewall) is blocking the incomming connections.

Do you have your PC set to a static IP (as in, an IP that's always assigned to your computer specifically)?

Instructions for Windows Vista (and probably Windows 7):
To check, go to Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Network Connections. Right click on whichever your thing is that's giving you internet (it should show which one's currently connected), go to Properties. Click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and hit Properties. If "Obtain an IP address automatically" is filled in, you're not on a static IP, and this is most likely the reason why port forwarding isn't working right.

On XP, it might be a bit different to check, but should still be somewhere around those lines.
