Porting problems

[Connor]

In a previous topic Shuffle gave me a link to a site to get my ports forwarded, however, everytime I do so all that happens is it all just resets and makes a random port, I need help to hold the 5029 port in without it going random, could someone help?

The high port numbers are not necessarily a problem. In order to be able to host, you need to make sure that your router is forwarding the packets to your machine, and that your software firewall, if you have one, isn't blocking the packets. Could you please post some screenshots of the settings you configured on your router? It's probably quicker than trying to describe them. Also, make sure that your computer's IP address is configured correctly.
