Re: games help
Ok, go to your browser and type in 192.168.0.1 username: admin password: sky
On the left hand side, click on services,
1) Click Add Custom Service
2) Name - BHD1
3) Choose TCP/UDP in the drop down box
4) Start port 17479
5) Finish port 17479 click apply
6) Click Firewall Rules
7) Under Inbound Service, click add
8) Service - choose BHD1 Action: Allow always
9) Send to LAN Server - 192.168.0.2 (should be your PC's IP address)
10) Click Apply
11) Try serving your game and ask someone to try and connect~ Never, ever, argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience ~

Re: games help
Hi mate, if youve followed nr advice above, it should work ok, I notice that you have put .04 at the end of your address. Are you connecting wirelessly and are there other pc's on your lan (3?). If so then you will need to setup a static address for that pc and alter the services accordingly.

ps if you need help doing this post back

Re: games help
You need to change the IP in this step:
9) Send to LAN Server - 192.168.0.2 (should be your PC's IP address)
to the PC that you want to host the game.
So if your PC is 192.168.0.3 then that's the IP that you would use.~ Never, ever, argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience ~

Re: games help
Have you got a software firewall on your pc 192.168.0.4?
If so turn it off.~ Never, ever, argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience ~
