Windows Service for Port Forwarding...

[Pelu]

Anyone know the windows service that needs to be on for port forwarding..?

i forgot which one... and now i need to turn it on lol...

Windows Services dont handle port forwarding, that is handled by the router.

What are you trying to setup with port forwarding?

If you are talking about using Windows Server with multiple NICs as a NAT router, it'd be the Routing and Remote Access (RRAS) Service.

Article on Server 2003 as a NAT router.

hm.. let me check... i remember some time ago.. there was a windows service that need to be on... if u want your router port forwards take effect lol

by the way... the router is connected in a usb port

 

[Pelu]

ok this is the problem.. i pick the ports in the router... and such.. configure it.. but when i test in windows.. all of them appear to be closed...

 

[Pelu]

this is so %^*() Lame... I write in the ports i needed forwarded to this computer and the test show... PORTS CLOSED... this is driving me nuts.... any idea besides hitting the router with a 100 pounds hammer and get a new one???

update the firmware on the router

give more details on what you want done, and exactly what you did in the router...may help solve the problem.

Don't forget that with home-grade routers, you often can't test Port Forwarding from inside your own network. You need to come in from an external computer.

ok .. i need my ports opened to play SupCom... otherwise zerg.. all strategy games need ports opened.. almost all.. they are peer to peer...

 

[Pelu]

let me check for firmware... by the way i dunno if the inside test is worthed but the game doesnt work well nor the multiplayer service.. i get into a lobby and tons of players are NIL....

You are probably talking about UPnP Service.

[Pelu]

ok... i am turning on those... lets see if it work.. or I will have a cursing episode...

 

[Pelu]

still closed...

 

[Pelu]

I am testing with this site...

http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

dunno why but they still closed

 

[Pelu]

hm... ISP told me... that the modem or router whatever teh name of this thing is... is quite old lol...

 

[Pelu]

ok.. I give up... I tried... setting the ports in the router... making my computer DMZ in the router... disabling all firewalls in the router.. also in my computer... called ISP and they told me that Port Forwarding is allow... but my router is kinda old.. and is not really using well new tech stuff.... dunno what it have to do but i guess they want me to get another router.... that one seems the only solution so far....

also... i check with the UPnP Services and dependancies... and nothing happens...I am getting so mad

 

[JackMDS]

To use UPnP, the application have to support it.

I am not familiar with the games that you are talking about, but may be it needs port triggering or some other concoction.

If putting the IP of the gaming computer on the DMZ and it does not work them it is something else and Not port opening through the Router.

If you have a software firewall the ports have to be opened through it too.

 

[RebateMonger]

I suggest you provide the router's make/model. "....Connected to a USB Port"?

SpeedTouch 536 USB

I do all of that in the link... but after that I get into Yougetsignal.com port forwarding test and they show up as block...
