New members can not post in the Bug and Problems section of the forum because...for the most part...New members repeat and post topics about bugs and problems that we already know exists or just to complain about lag.
Only members that have been here awhile can post in the Bugs section, because they already know what are the common bugs, (the ones we already know of), and only post about bugs that are "new" and unheard of...most commonly found upon character release updates.
As for your IP/Port problems..
For the most part...leave them alone.
The problem is more then likely NOT your ports or your IP...but instead, it is you firewall or antivirus protection programs, or router that are causing the problems.
Try going to "task manager" and closing down any and all antivirus and firewall protections that you may be running.
Then reload the game, and try playing the game with the default settings. (leave the port and ip options alone.)
If your running 56K, in "options" goto "networking" and enable the "slow connect" option.
If you use a router...try disabling it.
Dont forget to read and try all the advice found in the
Help Section of the game.
