SMC 7004ABR & two game type servers

[Heinrich]

Struggling with Roger Wilco and a map server for Ultima Online called UOMAP that will provide locations for people who log into the server in the game.

I've put the PC hosting the applications in a DMZ and forwarded ports to the machine AND tried Windows XP and Windows '98 to absolutely no avail.

I have Verizon so I'm using a SELFHOST.COM address instead of a static IP. I can PING my web page from the net. I could even connect internally but not out in the world.

I've spent three hours on this reading everything I can find. The Router is more difficult to use IMHO and I do not understand the translation between the information I read and my router's administration pages - but setting one of the PCs in a DMZ is pretty darned easy, and that did not even work. No one on DSLReports will respond to me.

I know this forum is full of great knowledgable people, would someone please give me detailed assistance!

Thanks so much in advance!

Have you tried forwarding the specific ports for the applications to the computer running them? I have an SMC and I know that sometimes DMZ doesn't really work at all.

Yes I did. Could I maybe offer you some $ paypal money to download these two free programs and try to set them up yourself? Three hours is enough frustration for me, but this has been something I dreamed of for YEARS!
