early bump...sorry need help

Start/Run type in ipconfig, scroll until you see the default gateway then type that into the web address bar in a web browser. Then you should have access to the router then you port forward Blocklands ports.

I think I said that right..

Your DNS should automatically be given to you through your ISP, you do not need to set it manually.

The IP in the Port forwarding should go to 192.168.1.7 (that is your computer)

right now it leads to the Router, that's not what you want.

Packer · February 14, 2008, 11:38:58 PM

No, try setting the IP to your laptops like Zerosan said.
