Ok, I know millions of people have asked this, but Im still going to ask it because I cant find a way to host behind router. My current router is TW-EA501.I would appreciate if anyone could explain how to do it. And don't tell me that Im noob and I should drop it, cause a) I know Im noob B) I know that there are some people who can help me.

Great.. Thanks, I knew everything else but that port forwarding thing.. I just didn't knew if I did something else wrong too :/ and I cant find that router setup page with my internal ip, but I can find something near it with my external ip.. Is that the one or..??

You must have a weird router, mine's Games & Applications tab, Look through all your tabs, and one of them should have something about TCP Connections... It'll most likely be that...

Ok this is how my router setup page looks like;

under "static router" is Current route
and under maintenance is System Status, DHCP Table, Diagnostic, Firmware

Orkl, I downloaded that PFConfig and I couldnt find my router from that list. I also tried to look for my router from the list ( I guess its that TW-EA501v3) but there was no Helbreath in it. When I tried to do that with deafault guide, it told me to go to "Configuration" page (I dont have that one as you can see)

Ok, I might got it work now.. Now I only need client for 3.82 and so I can test it.. Could anyone make me one? Maybe just edit HelbreathUSA's client so it would work with login.cfg... B)

Interesting.. I forwarded my ports and all the .cfg are fine.. But when my friend tried to connect he couldnt.. :huh: whats wrong? (tried it with 3.51 files, still need 3.82 client)

i think u need to ask ur friend to change the LOGIN.cfg to LAN
or the other way round to INTERNET
check whether yours is LAN or INTERNET then ask your friend to change it to the other
for example, if yours is LAN then ask him to change to INTERNET or the other way round

I love the crap ports they have your forward, some for windows services, and one for the World-log, granted thats needed for multi gserver hosting, but also opens up some attacks on some worldlog versions.

just be wary of that
