Step 6: Navigate to Applications & Gaming and then to Port Range Forwarding.
Step 7: Set up your ports for Blockland using your IPv4 Address.
Step 8: Apply your changes.

Step 9: Navigate to the Status page.

Step 10: Locate your Router's IP Address and your Router's Default Gateway.
Write these down, memorize them, or just keep this tab open.

Step 12: Login to your router.

Step 13: Navigate to Applications & Gaming and then to Port Range Forwarding.

You realize different routers have different interfaces so "navigate to blah" generally doesn't work

However, you can tell people to go here:
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/
Then select their router brand, then skip the ad, then select their router model, then select blockland and follow that guide from there on.

That site claims that my router won't support Blockland, even though it can (halfway)

I don't have a status spot either

I found a setting that deals with my static IP and such. Its the DMZ, it says that it can put my PC outside of the NAT firewall, should I do that?

I did that and now my server is pinging c:

So for you folks having issues with a fail router just use the DMZ and bring your PC out of the firewall.

Do newer routers have UPnP?

Yes.... I have never seen a consumer router without it.

Just make sure that your software firewall is running and blocking all non-required ports.

At step 11 when I try to copy the default gateway into my browser I get "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to"

I have to enable DMZ to my computer or my servers won't work at all
