router troubles on mac??
 

Check my port and your webpage says it is fine. I have the IP forced to that port.

Yet...I can't connect anymore!

I've got a cable modem going to a linksys cable/dsl router, which then acts as a ethernet hub for my house. At my Mac, I have an ethernet hub which connects my iMac, printer, and Airport to my central hub...

No joy here...and VERY frustrated!

Ideas?

Humm and I believe you didn't configured the router as I told you :rolleyes: I thought my PM was enough clear. Look at portforward.com to find your router and then they explain how to open the ports you want.

Bonne chance

Now that's a weird sentence. You have a modem connected to a router, then the router is connected to airport!!!
:confused:

I'll check portforward.com

BUt my response was and is clear.

I have a CABLE modem connected to my router. THat router distributes IP addresses via DHCP to my house.

At one particular room in my house (my office), that signal goes to a different ethernet hub. My computer, my laser printer, and my airport connect to that hub.

The appropriate port IS open...no firewall issue...

Yet I can't connect...

HELP!

So you are behind router then a hub. This makes your real address converted from xxx.x.xx.xxx to 192.168.1.x then to a hub to your computer. I don't know how to go trough 2 obstacles with LW. If the hub was another router, it could be okay.

Your response wasn't clear enough. And you didn't chech portforward.com which was the first thing I told you to do :rolleyes: I'm sorry I never got into your situation and I think nobody here either, so my help will stop there :(

Bonne chance

Appreciate the try...I DID go to portforward.com and had myself set up properly...

And you are right...my computer is at 192.168.1.x since I use a linksys router.

The ethernet hub doesn't re-route IP addresses, so it should not be an "obstacle" as you describe...having another router in the stream would be incredibly destructive to IP addressing...not a good choice...

I can't believe that NOBODY out there has a similar setup...

I also can't believe that there isn't a solution!

I'll keep working on it and let you know if I can get it working...

Ok guys...
I've been spending like 3 hours, reading those threads about firewall and router...cause i have both of them (D-Link 604 router and Xp built-in firewall).
I've come to this thread, and it is the best for my problem..yet not solve it.
This are what i've done so far:
1. set up a static IP address on a my computer (Windows XP)
2. Set up a Static IP Address with the router
3. Port Forwarding for the router (port 6346).
4. Open port 6346 in Xp firewall.
5.Check LW's Option>Firewall and port (Force Ip checked)
6. Check errors report and got "received incoming this session: true"

But the upload speed is always < 3KB although i set upload speed to unlimited and using a broadband connection...
Well a lot of ppl queued up to download my hits but they all leaved disappointed :(

So what should i do now? Could u make it like step by step so i can follow easily (I'm better at games than those technical stuffs).
Thank you very much!
