Hmm this is a lil odd but yeah.. i have a router and firewall and my zone is set up fine.. for some odd reason though i can acces my zone from the computer its running on and the other computer hooked into the router. my problem is that right now i am at a friends house and i cannot get it to pop up in the zone listing as it did with both my computers. how might i be able to fix this minor setback?

Ok after a few tweakings and what not no the zone does show up on other computers but when they go to enter it wont connect and turns red for them... this is while im logged in on one of my computers, same problem if i log out. anyone know why only my computers can acces my zone? help needed lol

Forward the server's port and that port +1 from the router to the computer that is running the server. UDP

i have the server running on port 8000 and the router is set up to have port 7999 thru 8001 open for the server as i read that somewhere before. so if thats what you mean then its been done, if not please explain this a lil more for me.. thx

Make sure the protocol is UDP, and there is no need for 7999.

ok i did a ipconfig from dos and found out that my router gives me a ip address and some how i found another ip for my comp.. even though there is only a ethernet card and nothing else, so now that i have switched over to udp instead of both i am going to try and see it the routers ip addy for my comp will fix it, if it does I will let ya'll know if not i will return again.
