check your internet connection properties and make sure you dont have a Firewall running. If it's not the windows firewall then you might have a seperate firewall program on your pc which is blocking it.


im not sure how port forwarding works, thats a seperate thing to think about if its not a firewall, think dippers or someone might be able to talk about that.

Yeah, the problem could indeed be because of a router, when you use a router your pc gets a different ip, so your router gets an ip, and you get another ip, that could indeed be the problem you are having

wow... im glad yougave such a clear unambiguous description there rodge =P

who set up your connection gero? cos theyre probably the best person to ask about what router settings or whatever you are using.

yeah, i know, but i couldn't find the words i needed to give a more clear explanation, did the best I could, I'm not native english u see...

And just because a person can set up the connection, doesn't mean he can fix the problem...

[ger0]

i fixed it . it was the fire wall thanks

[EatsP1es]

(i was joking rodge =P)

and i know that they wouldnt necessarily be able to do it, but theyre likely to have more idea about the workings of it than somebody who has never done it before... =P



anyways, good to know you got it working ger0.
