Harris6310 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 I am using a dial-up connection on a USB modem. Am I still able to Port forward? I can't find the modem on the routers list on Portforward.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 @Harris:> I am using a dial-up connection on a USB modem. Am I still able to Port forward? I can't find the modem on the routers list on Portforward.com.Port forwarding is only required when you're using a router or a HUB. If you're directly connected to the internet, then it's completely illogical to even have port forwarding.Regards, Godlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harris6310 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Well could it be my modem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 @Harris:> Well could it be my modem?Only devices that have multiple LAN ports are supposed to have the port forwarding feature. If none of them don't, then the only way of blocking ports is via a firewall àla software.Regards, Godlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harris6310 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 I turned off my windows firewall and my anti-virus doesnt have a firewall. How would I test properly to see if I can host.Edit: Tell me what you can see [here](http://95.147.22.156/) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Unfortunately if you are on dailup your ip will change every time you connect to the net. So you might want to get a no-ip or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Why would you even host anything on a dial-up connection? :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harris6310 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Even though it is dial-up it is still a pretty good connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesl Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Bare in mind Dial-up is only 56k/s so if you have more than I would say 2 people on the game your players will stared getting kicked for packed flooding. Because the server will get behind. I would suggest upgrading to broadband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homicidal Monkey Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 you _CAN_ get dial-up moving quite fast. All it requires is that you bridge a few connections. Although that is totally inconvenient because it would require several phone lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Lol. My adsl is slower than your dial up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
