How do you host when you are on a network? If it helps I have a Linksys 2.4 GHz router.

I've had your problem before

Linksys routers are notorious for port forwarding.

What you need to do this this:

1. Go to a new internet explorer window and in the address bar type in 192.168.0.1

2. When it asks you for the user and pass, leave the user blank and type 'admin' as the pass.

3. You will be directed to a webpage. Find the link for Port Forwarding. Open up ports 6112 for both.

4. If you still can't host, then try disabling the Windows Firewall. It often gets in the way. With your handy router, you can leave the Windows Firewall off and not notice any difference, for all the good that stupid thing does.

1. Go to a new internet explorer window and in the address bar type in 192.168.0.1

You may want to try 192.168.1.1 instead as it is the default for most Linksys routers.

 

[brad.dude03]

Yes, my bad, I was thinking of my Dlink router. Dlinks use the .0.1 while yes, as Samuraid stated, Linksys routers use .1.1

Thanks for the correction

As usual, Ralle is more that a year ahead of the question:

Hosting Games: Router and Software Configuration

Tutorials: what a concept.

 

[brad.dude03]

He always is. That sneaky bastard went back in time so that he could answer the question before it was even asked.

Very slick.

It's entirely possible that your router was reset. Go and do it again.

If my internet provider locks me out of my router's configuration, because they want to pay them to open up more ports.
How do I get around their lock. I have already tried resetting my router.
I use a dlink.
My provider is Comcast.

if they locked the rouder ask them to tell you the pasword because you need it to update your vires shild or someing

or
try googing it
or enter the binay equivlient of your ip*pi(rount it of to the thouseands)
that will cause your rouder to reset

 

[Dr Super Good]

Unscrewed_Magic, you are stuffed is all I can say in that case. Since if they want money for you to touch anything on the router and you do not have the rights to foward ports, then this is the wrong site for that kind of action. Since in that case you would have to hack into your own router and I dought anyone here can help you with that.

What ever it is, if you are using a router you have to foward your WC3 port (remember it can be set to what ever you want in the main options) to your LOCAL ip. If you enter the local IP incorrectly it will not work.

I fixed my hosting problem through similar means on my old computer that was hooked up to a router, but I recently replaced it with a laptop that's now hooked up to the wall/monitor.

There's no physical router connected anymore but the Wireless Network Connection is the same as before. However, when I open up the 'webpage' (192.168.1.1) I get a Verizon login screen now and I have no idea what the User Name/Passwords are despite having tried all the common ones I've seen.

Any ideas ?

 

[brad.dude03]

There is no username, the password is admin.

Tried that one?

Or, the username is admin, and there is no password....

 

[Yum]

Tried both and quite a number of others :/

...
Man...

I fell as that i should have completed KorksKrew. it would have fixed your prolnbms no prob

That used to be true for my router, but they put some sort of lock on it. I have tried resting my router, but that does not work. I just do not see how they even have the right to lock me out of my own router that I paid good money for. I used to be able to host, they had no right to touch my network... The way I see it, if I do hack it, I am hacking my own property.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Try unplugging your router (completely cutting it off from its power supply). That should reset everything to factory default.

 

[Unscrewed_Magic]

I did, and I tried poking a pin into the little hole in the back. The reset button lights up, but the factory defult name/password will still not work.

 

[Dr Super Good]

If it is your router (you paid for it and you installed it your self but they just tempered with it) you could try filing a law suit against them or something, but this really aint the site for this problem, most people here have little idea on law and hacking so I dought we can help you in much detail.

 

[Unscrewed_Magic]

Yes I paid $80 for it and installed it myself. They tempered with my property.

I feel as if i should have completed KorksKrew. it would have fixed your problems no prob

What is "KorksKrew"?
