Well it looks to do exactly what its coded to do, which is what you would expect :P.

Perhaps if you told us what you want it to do, which it isn't?

Ok so what i want it to do is open a port on my pc, as i cant do it any other way

erm

I dont know how to use VB,

I want it to ask what port it is that you need to open and i want or i want it to open a port range or just open 3 diff ports so i can run a mir server

Hope this helps

Ok, this is not the way to go about it.

Ports are 'open' when a program instructs them to open. Your VB program cannot open a port for another program. You could tunnel using your method, but that would require the destination port to be open already lol.

For typical setups, there are two obstacles to making open ports accessible. The windows or other firewalls installed on the computer, and the routers port forwarding setup. The mir server help section contains extensive posts since the beginning of time on this topic.

i have tryed all that and i have also got my mate to try and hack it open and it just wont open i have even take off all firewalls, even on home hub but still wont open

Makes me believe that ISP is blocking that port but all ports i have tryed wont work ><

Everyone seems to get stumped by the windows firewall.

Are you sure you disabled the built in windows firewall?
How do you connect to the internet? You call it a 'hub', but I find that unlikely. Name and model of the device please.

Windows firewall is disabled also added in the exceptions port 7000

Im using Bt Home Hub

Are people unable to google these days?

http://www.frequencycast.co.uk/homehub.html

You give the Server Machine a FIXED IP, when you run the programs, windows firewall will pop up and ask if you want to let it through (you say yes lol). Go to that page and learn how to pop holes in your router and let 7000 etc through the the Fixed IP you had set for that PC.

No need to write and release some weird program.,,,

Ports 3000,7000,7100 and 7200 are needed for a MIR server, as well as setting up the files correctly

Good luck

[hallmat]

The files are set up correctly

And

Dem

I have used google m8 i know how to use it just didnt find anything use full other than Portforward.com i find crap and hackers exploit it as i was attacked loads of times after setting it up before, also that page is a load of rubish as i have done the port forwarding part already m8

Hence why Eternal has not been up and running yet as some haxor go past my firewall because of that site

...

'Hackers' cannot do anything with you forwarding the MIR server ports.

Set a fixed IP for your server machine, and forward the aforementioned ports to it. Without doing this, you cannot host a MIR server.
