Crazy, i only forward port 5121 (server connection port) , dunno why they tell you to forward all these other ports, it's not really recessary.
You seem to get timeouts on a lot of different connections :P
Can anyone else connect?
Are you running the server off your pc or another computer. What is the local IP of this computer. Try connecting using your local IP, or browsing the LAN section of the gamespy connect.

ahhhh...too many questions!!!
I can connect to ANY other server just fine...and i tried 5 times to connect to mine to no avail. and i'm using the same computer that's used to fill the forums with my 'joyful' posts :P
(on a router(that's not my own :P))
local IP: 198.168.2.7
Wan IP: 70.228.74.174
Default gateway: 70.228.72.254
DNS Address: 67.36.13.26
nope, didn't get timeouts....hopefully the provider won't terminate the highspeed...
*some Cable providers terminate your line if you start a server cause of the bandwidth <_<
[snapback]24817[/snapback]
Well normally you have a certain amount of bandwidth you can use per month then you pay extra when you go over.
Anyway NWN uses barely any bandwidth at all.
well...then i'll finish connecting some areas and put it up sometime *grrs at owner's router* j00 better work :angry:

heh, ya I have ports through my firewall and portforwarded through my router now, same crap I still cant host a server, what are people going to tell me now, cuz ya cant blame the router or firewall anymore.
there's always Bioware :P

Damn bioware! Damn it to HeLL!
This is the only good game they've made anyway... at least in my opinion ;)

DoS = Denial-of-service, it's a methode to attack a computer running a service. (but well, there isn't any attack at all) Anyway, those ip's hardly can be of a nwclient connecting to your server, it are ip's that belong to your provider (just like your ip does). It are ip's from poeple useing the same way to connect to the net as you (Cable). So the problem is something else. (or did you only expect a load of poeple useing the same cable as you to connect to nwserver?)
About NAT, if you share your connection between more than 1 computer. Don't disable it, NAT is what makes your router a router :P. If you disable it you'll get the same effect as with DMZ, exept, only 1 computer connected at the router can have net at a time. You can try to disable NAT and connect then useing your WAN ip adress (default gateway ip). NAT is also the reazon why you have to forward ports to serve.
And other thing you can check, is if the server is really running 1.66. Just had someone that *couldn't* host because the server was 1.65. (if you can't direct connect useing 127.0.0.1 as ip if you play and host on the same box, then that may be the case, otherwise it definitely isn't)

can't really turn off anything ;) considering it's not my router :diablo: ARR MATEY! WE BE PIRATING THE Wi-Fi WAVES!! ARRRRRRRR :P
*turning off my firewall would allow them access to my machine....as of yet i'm merely a strange phantom (ALT + 255) that appears and yet has no terminal in which to peer into :ninja:
[snapback]24981[/snapback]
ok i don't understand.
You're piggy backing on someone else's wireless lan. you say you can't turn off DHCP because it's not your router. But you were able to set up port forwarding.
Anyway I'll tell you what your problem is, your settings are obviously incorrect and/or your firewall rules are too strict to allow (even yourself it seems) access to your server.
Solution: Get your own internet connection, and continue from there.
nah, i can get in, i just can't make changes or they'll know :P i'm prolly missin something simple cause everything can be played (MW4 only one needin portforwarding) just can't host NWN...meh...it'll just be a surprise then >:}

Ugh, I had missed a couple ports, I made another sweep... added them.. alls good... guess what? I still cant host - _ - Dammit. I put ports through both firewall and router just like I did nwn for some other programs that didnt work, since they couldnt get through... they now all work... sept nwn dammit.
Well I found this site, extremely useful, I had to make some changes, did everything it said for my specific router, and the ports etc. even though I didnt have to make many changes from what I had already done, I still made a sweep over everything following it's exact directions... still nothing... dammit.
