Others can't see or join my server.

[Royalty]

I had an extensive talk with Triad about this a few days ago. He said that I had portforwarded properly, entered the right commands, but he still couldn't see my server.

He also said:
"Be sure to tell Greaper that when I tried to ping your IP address in command prompt, I wasn't able to send and receive any packets."

I also tried disabling my firewall, but no luck. Help please?

Router make/model?

 

[Royalty]

Netgear CG3100. Apparently it's a router/modem hybrid...

Check this manual - might be a bit old but I assume it'll work.

Follow the instructions in 5-1 - DMZ Host. Remove any port forwards and give DMZ a go. Make sure your computer has a decent firewall running as all default connections will go to the DMZ host.

Give it a go, and see if it helps. I'll try and get a couple of additional tools ready to help diagnose the problem if this doesn't work.

So with the IP do I enter my IPv4?

 

[GReaper]

You enter in the IP address of the machine you're hosting on (the 192.168.*.* one, usually).

Do I need to restart my router for the changes to take affect?

Problem Solved. Lock thread. Was a firewall issue.
