i ve a d-link D524 router

thx mfg ice

Try this, disconnect your router and connect direct to the interent and have you friend connect to it........if it works, then there's two things......either your router is not setup right, or its defective. Also, be sure you are also turning off windowsXP firewall off......

well it isnt realy easy to connect my computer to the inernet directly but i will try it when i ve time

im trying it now without windows firewall

yea.. d-link routers have been known to randomly change the port number to something like 6xxxx. So put the server up, and try searching on like http://www.game-monitor.com for just your external ip. without the port. This is a known problem with some d-link routers, here is something that fixed another guys problem (if this is the same thing)

i started the server and tried to find it on http://www.game-monitor.com but i couldnt.probably it isnt online,but when i search for it in the game it shows me the server.
