Thanks to both of you.

Just as a note I do have visual basic (legally) but I'm not very proficient in the language (my prior knowledge consists of about 20 odd classes that I took which were each about 4 hours long, so I only know some basic commands)

Okay, I'm trying to make some buildings in my game and I want them so that I can walk into them and have them appear as a new area (Just like when you move from one section of map to another), but I don't know how. How can I do this, exactly?

Damnit!… A new router... we just got our router fixed (after it fried) Btw I used my real IP address but it was saying that I couldn't so I just put the one you put me (they were basically identical). Alright, well I'll see about a new router then, but this means that I'm pretty much screwed game-wise.

It's still saying the port isn't open… Here are my current settings: Application Start End Protocol IP Address Enable name1 4000 4000 Both 192.168.1.2 (I just put the one that you gave me) Enabled

Okay, but when I put that in the table, it says "You cannot use the router IP, network or broadcast address" Also, it gives me the option to pick between Protocol… does it matter which one?

Okay so I followed the guide and it still says my port isn't reachable… How exactly do I go about making a static IP address? (I know, I probably sound like a total dumbass right now, but computer networking has really really never been my thing)

Alright, I have virtually no experience with computer networking, but here's how I started my game: I turn on the server, I turn on the client, I log into the client, and pick my character. My friend wanted to play, but since I couldn't send him the client folder through email (too big) I put it on a USB stick. I made sure that I used the client out of the original (zipped) folder. I tried to run the game and it wouldn't run on his computer, so I installed the libraries from the website (do you need to do this, or is it just for the owner of the game?). So now, I'm reading about having to "Port forward" and after reading two separate guides, I still have no idea what to do. I really don't want to muck around with my wireless too much. Could someone please tell me what I need to do to get it so that my friend can play the game?
