Go to your router page and click VirtualServers and then login as admin *You MUST be on the initial computer you set the router up on*.

Then added the ip of your router and a from and to port set to TCP and click add at the bottom. I probs missed a bit out but thats ya basics.

Added code

Winsock1.Close
Winsock2.Close
End
End Sub

Private Sub Opener_Click()
If Text1.Text = "" Then
MsgBox "Please enter a port number"
Else
X = Text1.Text
Z = "127.0.0.1"
Winsock1.LocalPort = X
Winsock1.Listen
Winsock2.Connect Z, X
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Helper_Click()
Form2.Show
End Sub

I don't know what you are trying to write...

For most people there are 2 places you have to open a port:
Windows Firewall (under exception list)
Router's Firewall (under virtual server or port forwarding)

I had a funny 5 mins sorry

i have forwarded it in windows firewall and also in my router but still nothing :S

just wont work

how did you check if it's working or not?

netstat -na | find ":7" | find "LISTENING"

if you see 7000 7100 7200

next is to check if you can connect to yourself. Gate should show connect/disconnect.
telnet 127.0.0.1 7000
telnet 127.0.0.1 7100
telnet 127.0.0.1 7200
if you see blank screen, it works. to exit telnet, Ctrl-] and then type quit

now ask a friend to do something similar
telnet netip 7000
telnet netip 7100
telnet netip 7200
replace netip with your real ip.

if it's still not working...
I suggest you post all the screenshots...
windows firewall, exception list,
router port forwarding page, etc...

Could shomeone please tell me what is hould put in inbound port and private port

thanks screenie below

 

[chimera]

Usually...

incoming port 7000, private port 7000
7100, 7100
7200, 7200

HTH

 

[Demonic]

Using Common Sense I would write in:

Description : Login
Inbound Port: 7000.7000 (this is what we call a range lol)
Private IP: The FIXED IP of the machine running the mir3 server
Private Port: 7000.7000

Repeat with 7100 & 7200

When you have done this, run the server and PM me your IP Address and Ill test it for you.

BTW - BT is well known to have a very dynamic IP Address, which means it will be quite hard for you to run a server from. Check your IP (INET) now and do the same in 4 hours - tell me i they stay the same lol

 

[mythonline]

you can check if ur ports are opened at http://canyouseeme.org/
pretty useful site :>

 

[mirlin6]

where my ips say 127.0.0.1 should i cange to 192... 1?

because i have set the ports and the launcher not working :S just woundering if it to do with my ips like 127 1

 

[Kaori]

you shouldn't have 192 anywhere except in router's port forwarding.

Aye you have to use the IP of your computer not the router or the address given to you for the routers sake.
