Post subject: Problems with server

Ok , I have tried to make alot of servers , Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Counter Strike Source etc. but it doesen't matter wich guide I follow becouse it never works ! ,

I can allways get in to the server and all on the LAN but others cannot connect to my server. I portforwarded what I should and stuff but still doesen't work , so my quesion is can it be that my internet provider has some kinda security so noone can access or something like that ?

Btw , my router is a D-link DIR-825. And if there is any way of fixing it It would be lovely with an answer becouse this have been so freeking irritating , I've spent a long time just trying to get it work but it never does.

I could allso send you some images of how I've portforwarded it etc , and if I did something wrong.

I allso tried disabeling the firewall and allow the program through the firewall without success...

Would be kind of you if you could Teamveiw me and fix it if you cold ^^

IF you forwarded the appropriate ports correctly, then the chances are your ISP has them terminally blocked.

ISPs offer residential and business plans (for internet access). Residential plans forbid hosting servers. Business plans do not (but also cost more than residential plans).

Ultimately, you can try directly connecting your computer to your modem and see if this solves the problem. If it does not, you are pretty much doomed. If it does, then the fault is on your end (meaning it is possible you are not forwarding ports correctly or something).

^^ Please try this. If it works, then contact me at http://www.hlrse.net/contact.php

He e-mailed me last night saying that a direct connection to his router solved the problem, which means the fault lies in the router (faulty or poor quality) or the user (incorrectly forwarding ports). DMZ might work, but I would recommend just unplugging the whole thing and doing a direct connection to the internet because this is as black-and-white as you can make the diagnostics without wasting time.
