General Questions - Basic Zone Set-Up Problem, but Please Help! lupin - Tue Jun 24, 2008 6:38 pm Post subject: Basic Zone Set-Up Problem, but Please Help!
Hi all I have set up a zone that I can enter if I add a Custom Zone. It's also shown on the Add/Remove Zone list but it comes up red if I add it that way.
Anyway, nobody can enter my zone. They have the same problem as I do (shows up red on their list after a couple seconds). I have 7100 and 7101 UDP portforwarded (7100 is the port for my zone). Is there something that I forgot to do? Because I really want others to be able to connect .

Check what IP the zone is on after you add it from the zone list. You can do this in the Add/Update Zones window or in the main menu by clicking and holding your right-mouse button while having your mouse pointer on your zone.
It should be set to the same IP as the IP that is reported on http://www.whatismyip.com .

The IP address shown on the website and for my zone on the zone list are one and the same Cheese - Wed Jun 25, 2008 11:25 pm Post subject:
try forwarding 6500-7500 to see if it works...

Make sure that you dont have a firewall on your computer, and if you do - make sure the ports are port forwarded. Same goes for any routers/gateways/etc.
If you've got a netgear router - I, personally, have had many troubles trying to get it port forwarded - and infact just gave up.

All my ports are forwarded. I even tried it with my firewall off.
The only thing I have is a cable modem, does that need to be portforwarded as well? If that's the case, I have more work on my hands I forgot the user+pass on that thing. What a pain!
Sheesh, who needs a zone anyway lupin - Sat Jun 28, 2008 12:52 am Post subject:
Portforward.com helped me get my router portforwarding 7100 and 7101 and the zone works like a charm now. I guess what I thought was portforwarding was opening up two ports on my windows firewall. Well whatever, at least I learned something new.
