PSyCo_SMurF Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Do you have a forwarding tab or a port triggering section in your router setup? is it a net-gear or d-link or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
}X{Executioner Posted January 31, 2004 Author Share Posted January 31, 2004 The routers a router plus. I could just tell you what happens when I go to the things settings that I think I need to use. I think tis the NAT or Firewall settings. I disabled the firewal, so that aint the proble. Its got a DMZ and a Virtual server thing, but I dont know how to use either. Any ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

}X{Executioner Posted February 4, 2004 Author Share Posted February 4, 2004 Ok I disabled my firewall, but the options in there are Enable/Disable Firewall Settings Block WAN IP Client Filtering MAC Controls DMZ Thats all of them. I think they are self explanitory, but the Block WAN IP allows me to stop people from pinging me, Client FIltering allows me to block certain client PCs accessing the Internet based on time. MAC Controls don't apply to me, and the DMZ is the thing that I think I need to figure out, it lets me choose a port that is ok to use for allowing foreign IP's to connect or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I use an ActionTec gateway router, and on mine it has the DMZ thing and just says "on" or "off" you can check. I checked mine ON and plugged in for the IP the IP of my router (find out what it is with winipcfg in win98se). For ports forwarded, I just put in the port ranges JA uses (29070-29099 TCP & UDP) and then it worked. With each port I "forwarded" I also had to again plug in the router's IP each time then at the end "save and restart" to reboot the router. You're probably best off just setting your (hardware) firewall to "basic" which is probably all you'll really need. Though I also use Norton Internet Security's firewall, so I just gave full permissions to the dedicated server binary and exe's of JA (in NIS).
