Medleyy Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hey people - I'm brand new to this, and would like to create an MMORPG. I bet you're all sick of us newbs posting that we cannot connect to the server, but please hear me out :embarrassed:I've attempted to portforward my router, but I looked on portforward.com and they don't have my version of the dreaded Orange LiveBox… It says on the network and sharing centre of my laptop that it's a LiveBox DF54\. I've searched each other version on portforward.com, but none of them match the screen I get up when I enter my IP address on the interwebs. I know how to get on to the portforwarding centre, though how to actually do it is beyond me. Thanks for any help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakiac Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Ok for my router this is what it was supposed to look like: http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/1452/portdi.jpgYou said you can access the router, right? If you can then look at the image and copy the TCP as 7001 and the UDP as 7001\. For name but anything you want. For IP address put your computers internal ip. To find it go to command prompt, type in ipconfig, and copy the IPv4 address. Now save the setting on your router and reboot it.If you can't access the router the find the default gateway thats in the ipconfig and copy that into your browsers address bar.I hope this helps!Sincerly,A fellow n00b ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medleyy Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Well, just to add to the crapheap that is Orange broadband, It's layed out rather confusingg! I've uploaded a screenshot here, does anyone know what to put in each part?http://img815.imageshack.us/i/portforwards.png/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medleyy Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Triple post D:Now when I run the server it says 'Runtime error 10048' and that it's in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruins of Hell Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 @Medleyy!:> Triple post D:> Now when I run the server it says 'Runtime error 10048' and that it's in use.This error has nothing to do with that. In the future, please use the edit/modify button.You get error 10048 because you are trying to run two servers. Go to the taskbar (bottom left corner), click the upside-down V arrow thingy, and then double click the server icon. Now you have your server up.As for your screenshot:Protocol: TCPExternal Port Range: 7001 <-> 7001Internal Port Range: 7001 <-> 7001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medleyy Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Input that information you put in and it still won't work.This is what the overview looks like.http://img851.imageshack.us/i/overview.png/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruins of Hell Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Try using this guide:http://www.wikihow.com/Port-Forward-on-Orange-Livebox(Also, you could enable UPnP, which is three tabs to the left of your NAT/PAT tab, and then use the portforwarder found [here](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,58568.0.html),) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medleyy Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 The wiki is for a different livebox and the portforwarder won't work. THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING :@Now rebooted the darn thing and it still won't work. Can someone who has a Thomson LiveBox Mini DF54 make an idiots guide to portforwarding? It's possibly the most confusing thing the interwebs has ever known :l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possibly the most confusing thing the interwebs has ever known :lSimilar models are nearly the same. Just follow the guide there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakiac Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 hm… im looking at your first image... under protocal it looks like there is a drop down menu... under it it should say tcp, udp, and both. If there is a both, select it. For external do 7001 <-> 7001 and for internal port do 7001\. I think that might work.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medleyy Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 There's only TCP and UCP, no both option. Orange is the worst broadband ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I believe its TCP so just use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakiac Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I believe it is both… All port forwarding guides say both but if there is only one option then try both, one at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 No, they say when you don't know try both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medleyy Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Sent off for a newer LiveBox and it's come through today. I hope it works, fingers crossed :)Happy pancake day, everyone! Enjoy the tasty pancakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medleyy Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 New NETGEAR router have followed portforward.coms guide and thi doesn't work either. I think I may be stupid. Can anyone see an error with this?http://img36.imageshack.us/i/netgear.png/Thanks (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruins of Hell Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 That's not the portforwarding page. Post a screenshot of the sidebar; I'll try to tell you which section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medleyy Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 I'm wondering if it isn't the portforwarding? When I open the server, is there something I have to do that will allow the client to connect? Anything else it could be?Here's a screenshot of the services page and the UnPnP page as well.http://img710.imageshack.us/i/netgear2.png/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medleyy Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Problem's now fixed :) But how do I stop my friend recieving missing richtx32.ocx error message? <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruins of Hell Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Tell him to install the library files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSKweek Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 That would be the library files unless I am mistaken, just get them to run the installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
