i bet you don't have Static DHCP on your router enabled.

If you rebooted your computer, and your router is using dynamic DHCP, your local IP is changing each time you boot up. Thus your port forwarding isn't forwarding to the right IP.

Try making your computer static to one local IP like 192.168.101.01 or something...and have all the ports only foward to that.

Good luck.

i already did that in my tcp/ip settings

and my router is set up so only certain mac addresses can connect, so yeah, it is static dhcp

uh...

just b/c your router accepts mac address only as a means of connecting, that doesn't mean it's giving you a static local ip.

I'm not sure which router you're using, but there should be a section designated for DHCP.

I'm not really familiar either w/ tcp/ip settings...are you referring to the windows network settings stuff?

ah ic. Well, under the DHCP section of my router, you can have specific mac addresses connect to the router. As in, only the mac addresses I enter into the router can connect to the computer.

as for the tcp/ip settings, i was talking of the settings in windows. You can either input an ip addy, or have it auto detect.

I ran outa ideas

Right, I understand what you mean about the allowing only mac addresses to connect to your router, but if your router isn't using static DHCP, then it'll just randomly assign an IP address to your connection.

Let me ask you this, right now, can you get any green lights?

np...

but I'm still pretty sure your router is not fowarding the ports to your local IP.

Try this.

Open up your properties of your network connection on your computer. See what local IP you have assigned at the moment.

Next, open up your router configurations and look at the port forwarding part.

Is your local IP for your computer and the IP for the port fowarding the same? If so, then the problem lies somewhere else.

If they are different, then you know that your ports aren't being fowarded to your computer and that you need to do a static DHCP.

It'd be much easier if I could personally mess w/ your router since troubleshooting over the internet is rather difficult.

Also, not trying to be offensive in anyway, but you understand the basics of how routers work right?

Also, what router are you using?
