Ok, I got a new router because the old one broke and now I can't get a public server to work. I'm getting this error message

New Router, public server not working
You must have gotten it fixed... was playing with you on 2-Tanks or lasermania with you after this was posted (don't remember which). What was the problem?

ok, so what should I put in here?blast wrote:Evanejk, you need to forward the port on your router if you want to run a server. The error is occurring because the list server is trying to connect back to your server, but it cannot get there. So the request to the list server is timing out.

Look at the attachment, you'll get the idea. Change any settings as needed.

Evanejk,
First I would upgrade to the latest firmware for your router. The latest is 1.05 released in 2004. You can find it here http://www.linksys.com
1. You can put anything in the application box as it is just a description
2. In the start and end boxes but the port you have your bzfs server running on (5154 by default)
3. Leave protocol as "Both"
4. In 'IP Address', put the internal IP address of the machine that is running BZFS. On windows you can find this out by opening a command prompt and typing 'ipconfig'. For example if 'ipconfig' said you ip address was 192.168.1.72, you would but 72 in that box, and if it said 192.168.1.65 you would put 65
5. Put a check in 'enable'
6. Click save settings

Also it is best to give the computer that is running the server a static IP. If your machine reboots it may get another IP address if it is configured for DHCP. If that happens you will have to change the IP in the router.
Sorry, I didn't mean for you to put in the values as I had them. I thought you would be able to change the settings to fit your network.
