port forwarding or whatever...

[Andeh]

ok since my other thread has magically closed, ill post this here.

I got a D-Link broadband router and its stup and working. I havnt touched any of the settings for it yet as im not sure what it all means. What I want to know is how exactly do I open ports, or forward ports or whatever it is, so I can host something like a counter-strike server? or a mir server?

I can provide screenshots of various things if needed.

best bet is to get some one that know what their doing to help u with remote assistance (providing you both have win xp)

ok i figured out how to forward ports for the mir2 server, and i have that working now, but i tried forwarding the default port that CS uses which is 27015 but people still cant connect to me when i make a server

 

[Cooleye]

Try using 27015 as TCP + UDP I bet u just forwarded it as TCP... -__-

 

[Andeh]

yeah i didnt think counter-strike used UDP, i thought it was just TCP

EDIT Thanks it works now, this topic can be closed

I closed the other topic because it was about buying a router and the topic was clearly done, especially since your now posting about your new router
