Before you go any further, remind yourself that port fowarding is different for alot of people. As in, interfaces and crap. Its pretty easy once you know how, though. Also, never offer free super admin- you wont meet many smart nice people, they know that Free Super Admin means a bad hosted server.

That being said, here's how I get to my TCP protocol on my Vista computer. The stuff I say might not appear on your computer. If it doesn't, say so and I'll try to figure out what to do. If any of this stuff here sounds familiar, you probably already did it, but you might want to redo it anyway.

Go to the start menu and choose Control Panel.
Click Network and Internet, then Network and Sharing Center.
On the left, click on Manage Network Connections.
Right click on whatever connection you're using and choose Properties. If prompted to Continue or Cancel, Continue.
Click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then the Properties button.
Go HERE and skip to step 3E. You can find out most information here by typing "ipconfig" into the Command Prompt or looking at your router's home page.

Without doing this part, it was impossible for me to host. If you need any additional help, don't hesitate to ask.

ok i already did all of that, but i still cant host on the internet. but when i click LAN games on my other comp next to this one i can join my server.

LAN stands for Local Area Network. That means that only people connected to the same internet connection you are can access that server.

I don't know what else to tell you, other than you made a mistake somewhere. Start from scratch if you have to.

THIS website might help if you haven't tried it already.

yes i have but thanks
