How do I set up Port 5029 again?

[Dash the Hedgehog]

I don't know how to change the settings to start a netgame. I tried http://portforward.com/ but I got no help. Can someone tell me how to set get Port 5029 to work?

Well, first off, you want to paste 192.168.1.1 into your address bar, and then it'll ask you for a password when you try to go to it; by default, the username and password's going to be "admin", but if it isn't ask the person who may have changed it.

When you get there, you want to find a section in the shown control panel that says something like "Port Forwarding" and enter the information:

Application|   Ports   |UDP|TCP| IP Address  |Enable
   SRB2    |5029 - 5029| X |   |192.168.1.???|  X

I put question marks for the IP because it isn't the same for everybody. Normally, this is 100, but if it doesn't work, you may want to check on that.


I hope that helped. If it didn't, don't give up hope, as it took a while for me to get it to work as well. =P

What's strange is the Port Forawrding said that the Application was Srb21 and that I had to check both tags.

Yeah, I'm not sure why they did that. Still, having both of them on shouldn't hurt anything, so you can check them both, I guess.
