Author Topic: Forwarding ports. Says another computer is using this IP address.  (Read 952 times)

I've come across this error message when atempting to forward my ports. Did I do something wrong? Or is it my computer/Internet's fault?

This problem also causes me to be disconnected from the internet.




Was someone else doing something on your LAN at the time?
That's the problem if so. If not, probably Vista.

not vista, has to do w/ the settings you put for private i.p on router.. and the settings you used to make your i.p. static.

I got the problem when my private i.p address ended w/ a different number than my static i.p.

I fixed it  :D

Turns out I messed up in step 2 of http://blockland.us/portForward/

I input my default gateway instead of my Ip Address.
