Ok, I set it up where the my computer has a static IP address and not a dynamic one for the first step, but when i go to foward the ports, i dunno what to put in all the blanks
Here is the PortFowarding pae for my router model so you know what I see on my screen
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/ NetworkEverywhere/NR041/
I put in this
Customized Applications: byond
Ext. Port: [] to []
Protocol TCP: Checked
Protocol DTP: Checked
IP Address: 192.168.1.[]
Enable: Checked
ok... I've tried putting in
Ext. Port: [1024] to [1025]
IP Address: 192.168.1.[102]
and it still won't let me host.
Pleans, I need a detailed explaination, on what to put into what.

I hope you didn't put in the square brackets :P I know, I put the [] there to show that that was a text box, lol like a fill-in-the-blank sort of thing. as for the MACC address and that talk, i dunno anything about that... or what you mean, I just used what I typed as an example, I duno what to put in any of the blanks. Maybe if some1 could show what they have theirs all set to, that would work, but even if i set it, how does it recognize when byond is gonna use it, because I have no clue how any of this all works. | |
For the MAC address part... well, ignore it for now.
What happens is that the router will not recognize if BYOND is going to use that port or not. What happens is when a person (or rather, a program) tries to access a certain port - they're trying to access it on the router itself. As you can tell, these port access does nothing. However, what port forwarding does is makes the router check if it was told to redirect that access to a certain internal IP address so that program is accessing a computer with the said IP instead of the router. Make sure that the internal IP address is correct (this can be done by going to the command prompt (run > cmd) and typing in ipconfig. In the default gateway, it should have your internal IP address (192.168.X.X). In addition - assure that no firewall (including Windows Firewall) has DS/DD is not blocked. | |

The IP Address on the "run-->cmd-->ipconfig" does have "IP address (192.168.X.X)" I don't have a Firewall active *even the windows default is disabled* I have no other firewall softwareon my computer installed either. I just don't know what to put in for the information when it comes to port fowarding. Every time I try something out, it won't let me host anything. | |
1) Make sure your internal IP address still ends with .102 ... there should be an option somewhere in there to set .102 to your MAC address (meaning no one else can use it).
2) If it is still .102, do you have a firewall? If so, allow DD/DS access.
