Plz can someone tell me how to get passed my firewall and how to get a port, i have to host my game and it never works whenever i try to host.
Greetings Qudus325.

Although networking is rather complicated, most problems involving connecting to or hosting a game can normally be pinned down to a user not having exceptions in their firewall or not forwarding ports in their router. For more information please see How do I host a game? Or, I'm having trouble hosting. for more information.

Thank You.

Here's the best I can help. Maybe someone will come around with a better answer. But, here. http://www.portforward.com/english/applications/ port_forwarding/BYOND_Dr...

Thats all I really can help.

1. Locate your router on there. This shouldn't be to hard. All the information you need for this is on your router.
2. Click it.
3. Follow on screen instructions. Read or it wont come out right because the first time, I didn't see that I had to go to a website. (It may ask for a username and password. If you have not changed it, most likely the username is blank and the password is 'admin'(no quotes)
4. Depending on what brand your router is, the website may be different.
5. Go back to the other page (port forward) and complete the blanks(If any).
6. If there are blanks, at the bottom of the page, thats what you should fill in at the website you went to.

Other help.

To find the last digits of your IP, go to Start>Run>type cmd>type ipconfig. This may be different on all computers on what comes up, but they always have the information you want. Sometimes theres a lot that pops up and you have to scroll up, sometimes it is right there. Normally, its the only IP that has 3 numbers in it after the last dot.

I can't take screenshots but if someone can animate one and show him/her which one to look at. (Cross out your IP when animating,)

This most of the time occurs if Dream Seeker desides to work without extracting the files. Try extracting the files. Or, you can simply fix this by clicking 'Icons' at the top left and click 'Text'. If that don't work, try it again. It should work within 3 trys.
