NathanielCarter Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hey i have been having a nightmare trying to play anything on the pc where i have to open ports minecaft/phaseshift/magicka. I am with sky broadband in the uk and i was using there sky hub at first but i could not get that to work properly so i brought a d-link dsl-320b modem hoping this would fix my issues but to my surprise i still have the exact same problem. I have tried dmz and port forwarding on all routers/modems. Please help i just want to play with my friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted March 7, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted March 7, 2015 So just to confirm, you have: d-link dsl-320b modem >> R1 Is this an actual modem or is it a modem/router combo? If it is a combo, have you put the R1 in DMZ when you were connected to that? Once the R1 is in DMZ, have you gone to port forwarding on the R1 and port forwarded to the devices which need the ports open? You won't need to port forward for most gams on console.

NathanielCarter Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yep it is a straight up modem > R1 http://www.amazon.co.uk/D-Link-DSL-320B-ADSL2-Ethernet-Modem/dp/B0015RRIKM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1425757896&sr=8-2&keywords=modem I have also tried with the sky hub router/modem combo > R1 with the r1 in dmz then fowarded the ports that i needed to my computer. # No luck with either.

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted March 7, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted March 7, 2015 What is it that needs the ports open? Is it the games you mentioned in your original post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your trying to make a server then I assume if your trying to open port 25565 for Minecraft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted March 7, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted March 7, 2015 On 3/7/2015 at 8:15 PM, NathanielCarter said: Yes. Ok, well just to confirm, in the server properties file, have you chosen port 25565 and also have you entered the IP for your PC in the server IP field of the file? Finally, when booting the server do you get an error message saying that the server can't bind to port 25565? The issue might be that the server is not configured correctly, because it sounds as though you have set up port forwarding correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanielCarter Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 100% not the server i get exactly the same thing with magicka. Open port then go to http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/check to see if they are open. Always closed and no one can see my games.

Have you defined the PC address in the server properties file? They will only show as open if something is binding to the port. If the server is not running, the port will show as closed.

Guest Netduma_Iain Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks for helping Crossy, Nathaniel, so I assumed you have added the port forward entries in the R1 to point to the right computer? If so its almost certainly a firewall problem on your PC. Try disable any firewall software you have and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanielCarter Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Ok i was trying to play magicka and this game WILL not work for me. I just got minecraft to work. Port 27016 just will not open. Also i have firewall disabled and no antivirus or anything like that. My computer is just for games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 take a screenshot of your UPnP & port forward page please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanielCarter Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Ok i have sorted it. For some reason magicka says port 27016 but it never opens and i do not show up on the server list. I had to get my friend to ip join me and we got it all sorted. Thanks for your brilliant support i have been trying to sort this for awhile and i has been driving me nuts!
