Patrick Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 no-ip is a better solution I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scholastic Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 lol i even tried that…I cant even open up cmd..it is error each time so i skip ahead to pconfig and as soon as it pops up it goes away...MY computer is old like 2003 series maybe..but its not a relic it just cant access my cmd..whatever all cmd is is the run engine itself,,,U could use search without cmd but my ipconfig dont work so i cant port forward..I don;t know how other mmos get online but they dont use the same port forwarding stuff...

Guest Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Yes, I use no-ip. It is legitimate and works great. If your that worried however about security issues you may not want to get into online game developing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 If you have an older computer and you cant go to your start menu and select run then type cmd and hit enter to get to the black command prompt then you may need to do some serious ad aware scans and spy bot checking. Or you could reinstall windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruins of Hell Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 First of all, there is no other way. Deal with it and stop being annoying. Now your ranting on World of Warcraft. All games use port forwarding… There's even a file that show "us.logon.warcraft.com" (or something like that) Which is indeed a port-fowarding. No-ip is the only way if you don't want people to see your IP.So to recap:1\. You flamed a game.2\. You had no idea what you were talking about, and made yourself just look annoying.3\. There is no other way.4\. Deal with it. You have to risk some to gain some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruins of Hell Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I'm just saying you really didn't know what you were saying, look more into stuff before you assume.I agree it's sad there's no way to connect without downloading stuff. My old computer is low of memory and crashing a lot. So I know how you feel. Sorry though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowwulf Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 -_-Ok. Lets start from scratch.You have three options.1:learn to setup port forwarding yourself. -use the command prompt to find your router's ip -use router settings to say, anything on a specific port go to this pc.2:Use a program to make a virtual private network with those that want to play your game. -Hamachi is such a program but yes there are others out there.3:Ditch any routers, go from modem to pc. -your pc will use the public IP addres. -register with no-ip so people cant just browse to your pc so easily.and this one is not an option: stop being whiney about what this community provides. the "teens" that have put this together spent alot of time that they could easily have spent doing something else.@scholastic:> so people have to connect to my ip?big mmos dont use port forwarding..They have ports from there own they created they dont use what teenagers make.If a program is running behind anytype of device such as a router, the incoming information must be ported correctly.This applies to any non standard ports. Blizzard can not and would never choose a port then get it made standard in router firmware.Please research such problems before flying off the handle.

Godlord Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 @~SW~:> This applies to any non standard ports. ports such as 80 are already open and used for internet browsing and like i said are standards. Blizzard can not and wou ld never choose a port then get it made standard in router firmware.> > Please research such problems before flying off the handle.Wrong, please research it yourself first. By default no ports are open for listening especially none of the standard ports (< 1024). The ports below 1024 are not available for use anymore as they have special services assigned already such as HTTP, IMAP, POP3, SMTP and NNTP. Some games may be assigned to one of these ports like Doom which uses port 666\. Although this is very rare nowadays.Regards, Godlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowwulf Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 removed specific statement while i check it…Checking current port status...80 is open4000 is notMaybe i worded it badly...many ports are actively listening for requests, and yes, the standards have made them work/look for specific types of requests.

Godlord Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 > many ports are actively listening for requestsPorts aren't listening, the servers using the ports are and the amount of servers depends on the server applications you're running. On my private server I'm currently running eleven server applications and only eleven ports are in use.> Checking current port status…> 80 is open> 4000 is notIf you're checking a HTTP server then that's obvious. If you're talking about your own computer then your router is most likely set like that. Most UNICES need to have the server run as root before it can even use any port below 1024.> the standards have made them work/look for specific types of requests.The IANA has assigned services to all ports below 1024, some may however be still reserved for whatever reason. Ports nor routers look for specific requests. It depends on if the server can interpret it or not. You will usually find a HTTP server listening on port 80 but there are exceptions like an IRC server listening on port 80 or a HTTP server listening on 8080, that's why the port list below 1024 is a de facto standard not a list of ports of how it **must** be.Regards, Godlord.

shadowwulf Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 bottom line…He needs to either port forward or remove router, and stop whining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 @~SW~:> bottom line…> > He needs to either port forward or remove router, and stop whiningStop putting invalid information on the web so I don't have to correct you :rolleyes: and the bottom line is incorrectly worded like the rest of your posts :icon_nif:. I don't even know how you got 'Developer'-status while you don't even know what IANA is, what they do and how ports really work, which are part of the basics of networking.Regards, Godlord.

shadowwulf Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 then you would be really surprised to know I'm the network specialist for the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino in Northern NY…I don't believe at any point I had questioned the IANA.Please stop derailing the topic.Lock requested as explanation has been given.

Godlord Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 That's because they don't care about your knowledge but about your certificates and "experience", especially not at a casino.Regards, Godlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
