[quote:post_uid0="~ShadowX~"]u either have a firewall that you dont know about or a router or both. i have never been able to host because i have zone alarms pro and a router.....

one thing i have wondered though is why am i able to host a game on like mame and people can join, connect and play with no problems? but here on sfo i cant? whats the differance and is there anyway you could make the hosting thing like mame? (if it would help of course...) this is just something ive been wondering...[/quote]
-... it's called adding in the port on ur firewall options.. omfg

-router is the thing that lets people have like 4 computers connected to one connection.. that small thingie.... you can tell if you have a router or not by looking through your eyes

Wut do i do now??? i DONT HAVE ANY ROUTERS! SO IT HAS TO BE A FIREWALL! IVE JUST LEARNED THAT I HAVE A DSL GATEWAY THAT USES NAT FIREWALL SECURITY!


Can I use Internet firewall or security programs with my network?

Because the Actiontec Wireless DSL Gateway uses NAT firewall security it is not necessary to use any other program for security. The use of third party firewall or Internet security software is not recommended, as certain programs will create problems on a private network (Example. BlackIce Defender, Norton Internet Security and ZoneAlarm).


What is NAT and how does it protect my network?

NAT (Network Address Translation) is a level of security, which masks the private IP addresses of the PCs on your network with a single public IP address. With NAT the private IP address of any PC on your network is never transmitted over the Internet.

Can I play games between computers on my network, or on the Internet?

Yes, if the games was designed for multi-player or LAN play. For specific information if a game is capable of Internet or LAN play refer to the game documentation. Some games require ports to be forwarded to host or join games over the Internet.


I have an FTP or web server on my network. How can I make it available to users on the Internet?


For a web server, you will need to enable port forwarding for port 8080 to the IP address of your server and set up your web server to receive on that port as well. (It is recommended to configure your server to use a static IP address). For your FTP server, you will need to enable port forwarding for port 21 to the IP address of your server. (It is recommended to configure your server to use a static IP address)[/color:post_uid9]
