Personal Port Fowarding Visual Guide

[Dataflashsabot]

Is there any reason (not firewall) that I can host a web server on port 80 but not a GG2 server (also on port 80 for testing)?

[NAGN]

try a different port, most likely a different application's using port 80 for other means

[Floyd Pinkerton]

the port checkers tell me that port 8190 isn't open

[NAGN]

use a different port :I

[Dataflashsabot]

Got it working. Thanks for the guide!

I've a question I did everything right but what do I have to fill in here :

Local IP: Whatever your IP to your router is. Will look like 192.168.something.something. Mine is 192.168.1.200. It's the "IPV4 address" that ipconfig gives you. You should make this static from your computer, else you'll need to change this sometimes you restart your comp/router.

Local and public ports: both 8190.
Type: Only TCP needed but you might as well leave it at both.

Be sure the router doesn't have a firewall of its own, or that 8190 is let through it. If it doesn't work, try disabling the firewall on your computer first to rule that out.

Is the username the name your router has? and tha password is it the password to your router?

[Dataflashsabot]

It's usually admin/admin or something. Google your router model + "default password" or something.

what to do now?

what to do now?

Both protocols: any.
8190 to 8190 for range
translate to: Your computer's IP to your router, like 192.168.1.100 or something. Let me know if you don't know how to find this.
trigger port: 8190

[fLuffy]

i use vista and it works. Thanks NAGN

[fLuffy]

Does this only work for Vista and windows 7?
cus my friend wants to host a server...
we did everything we could but it's not workin.

by the way, www.cirt/password thing really doesn't do anything
it's just your internet username and password isn't it?

[fLuffy]

oh nvm my friend did it.
got a question.
We live very closely to each other but when I join his server, I lag a little.
When he joins mine, he doesn't lag though.
And he had some problems port forwarding while I didn't.
something wrong here?
