I can't get AS3 to connect to the directory servers or allow continuum to see a green zone

I have recently gotten a new router and configured it to allow the port to forward and subgame WILL show up green. I also have windows firewall enabled and have AS3 and ssbilling to be excepted. Help?

in modules.conf do you have the directory module uncommented?

it might be
; directory

you want no ;

Yes, I ran AS3 perfectly fine before the router switch, I believe the router is configured fine though because subgame works perfectly. IMO it is a problem with windows firewall not allowing as3 through

Did you even check modules.conf like xsp0rtsfanx said to?

I would imagen you could add the zone manually. If its a windows firewall issue, try disabling windows firewall (although I don't think this is the issue, windows sucks) and see if it connects. You could dmz your router to your pc for like 3 minutes to check. Although you only need to unblock 2 or 3 ports. Just use trial and error. There is a solution somewhere.

There is no purpose in that since i havent changed that file at all, and it connected just fine before redoing my firewalls

Hmm, that article only deals with subgame... nice try though.

Smong meant adding it Custom.

Try disabling your firewall to see if that is even causing the problem.
