host problem

[Bloody]

hi,

i got a problem with hosting... i tried everything and i still cant host..
i am not able to host anymore since ive got a router, like 8 months ago..
i am sure i opened all ports in my firewall + router ...
my router is from E-tech and is not listed at portforward.com ..
also my provider doesnt support my router, could that be the problem?
i hope anyone can help me out.. oh ye and my firewall is from zonealarm, virusscanner from Norman..
many people helped me already but none knows what i did wrong so im putting my hope on you guys
thanks in advance and i hope anyone could help me.

it seems a hard job but well, you did not mention this, so tell me if you did it already:
your pc must have a static local ip, like 192.168.2.101 (if 192.168.2.1 is the router), if you didnt do that, go to control panel-> network connections -> right click in your internet connection ->properties, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the list, press Properties.
There check Use this IP address:
IP: 192.168.x.101 (where x is the number that your router has)
network mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.x.x (Router IP)

Use next DNS server addresses:
192.168.x.x (Router IP)

After you did this, you got to go where you opened the NF ports and bind those ports to your local pc (192.168.x.101).

k, i did what you wrote ..

ok i think i did something wrong... because i still cant host lol..

All seems right, anyway in my router I have 2 options: Virtual Server and Port forwarding, I tried Virtual Server and didn't work (like it's happening to you), but now I have them in port forwarding and they work.
I didn't see the port forwarding option, but you shall have a look to Static Routing. I could help in MSN too, so I'll try to find you

[Bloody]

thanks for your help @ msn ....
people are able to join my server now.. but they cant see my server in gsa/bond ..
anyone know how to fix that? tres thinks its my router ..

could be that ur query port is kinda messed up... find a new one

[CBCOOLEST]

As far as I know you must port forward both Gamespy ports and Nightfire ports.That should fix the problem?!

http://findports.com/document.php?id=452 (JBNF)

[Tras]

his problem is about the NF's QUERY port (6550) that is used for communicating to GSA servers. It's not about GSA ports or JBNF at all.
He already opened the port but it did not work. He shall try buying a new router :'(.

[UltimateSniper]

or what about trying a new port?

[Tras]

He already tried much more things and that too. Didn't work ulti.

Lol, never mind guys, I dont need help anymore, I quitted NF some while ago and wont reinstall it, thanks for ur (late) replys anyways
