In order to open any ports, I would suggest doing so through your router instead of through your software. "Windows firewall" To do this, you will have to go to Start, Run, Type in Command "win 95/98/me" or CMD "windows xp/2000". Once you get a command prompt open, Type Ipconfig /all "space inbetween Ipconfig and /all. Once it displays your current IP configuration you will have to look for the GATEWAY ip. This is the IP to your router. In an Internet Browser, type the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx number into the brower. It will then come up with a Login window. If you havent already set a password for the router. You can try any one of these.

  1. Username - Admin  Password - admin

  2. Username - Admin  Password - "blank"

  3. Username - Admin  Password - 1234

9 times out of 10 one of these will work

Once you get into your router. Simply look for a type of "firewall settings" page and fill out the form to properly open your ports. Now If you are too much of a newb to handle the rest of this, I suggest you write me an email for the rest of the information. The reason I have to do it this way, is because all routers/firewalls are different, thus, I can't explain EXACTLY how to set it up without looking at a screen-shot of the firewall settings. I hope this has helped anyone that has been having problems opening ports on a router.
