LazDude2012 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 How did you port forward? (And no, this is probably the wrong section) Tell us how you did it so we can tell you what you did wrong. "Everything in the videos" is not helpful. LazDude's LazTip #1: You gotta help us help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin211 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 well, i have a netgear router and i portforward on it, just like all the videos said to. i can get on my server with 2 ips and the localhost thing but the port checker says it is closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazDude2012 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 If you can get on, but your friends at other locations can't, you've not port forwarded properly. Google "how to port forward" and use a text tutorial, not a video one. That should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austin211 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 i did the same steps in 2 of the text tutorials, and nothing. the same things happen. any links that would help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazDude2012 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Nope, as I've not port forwarded. I know how to do it, on my non-Netgear router, I've just never had to. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap Shot Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I should also point out that this isn't the right place. You'd have better luck in the Server Op Swap Shop. That's where server ops can..swap...information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
