Major Connection Issues.

HLX · 1st January 2005, 20:03

Okay. Well i've gone all through here trying to find the answer to my issues, but I still can't connect to the external internet for my SC station. I'm trying to get the station running from my personal computer, on a laptop with a wireless network card. I've gone into my server config page (192.168.1.2 for me) and forwarded the port for both 8000 and 8001. I also went and disabled the router firewall and enabled the Windows firewall, with the same ports open. Still no luck. No matter what I do, its not seeing my station from the external internet.

I'm on a Linksys router, model WRT54G to be exact, with a wireless Linksys card on the laptop. I've tried the external PLS link and that doesnt work. The last thing I have to try is atleast trying to connect internally, and with my luck with this, it will most likely not work. I'm all out of options here.

Help appreciated.

Okay, still having issues. I know how to set a static IP for my router and everything and I know how to change it from DHCP to static, but my ISP doesnt require a static IP. DHCP is all i use. I don't know what to do with this, even after going through my routers manual.
