Haven't seen you around for quite some time. :)

Did you go through blue_moon's IP to IP tutorial?
I really don't know what to recommend...

[jtw19932002]

yea thats what i went through before psoting, i told you hwo to connect and activate IP to IP but not how to forward a port

[Samail]

Forwarding ports depends on the router. You have to enter the port in question in a text box in the router's options.
If your friend does not have anyone who knows where this is, it will be in their router's instructions.

In my case, for example, I enter my IP address into a web browser. Login in using "admin" as the user name and no password.
This takes me to my router's configuration.

One of the tabs leads to a page with a bunch of text boxes for forwarding ports.
You then enter the port number in question into a box.

I actually never had to do this at all. My router did not get in the way of online play. (I now have no router as it has coughed out completely. Need a new one...)


That's really all I can say.

go to portforward.com
A really great site with step-by-step instruction for virtually every router sold on earth. All you need to know is your router manufacturer and model.

Indeed. Handy place.
