"...cannot be reached"

[orlos2]

Hello,
I see on this forum that lot of users have problems with this message and you are giving them link to page with list of issues and how to fix it. My problem is that this page is not helping me much (or I'm doing something wrong, I dunno :/). I'm using D-link DI-524 with v.2 of software and I want to open port 6669 but wen I test it the message apeears and says  "This port is closed and cannot be reached" or something like that. Please help
I made a server in one game and I can join to it, but others see message "This server is propably down" although it's not.
And sorry for my english, if I made mistakes.

First thing to check, find the WAN/Internet IP in the router.
Does it match the IP on the port tester page ?

Shane

[orlos2]

Yes, it matches.

[Shane]

ok good

I am not sure if you used my simple port forwarding program so can you find what your computers local IP is and post it?
Also post a screen shot of the port forwarding page in the router. This will let me see if the rule is added correctly

192.168.0.1 - my local IP
And here's the picture:

[Shane]

OK I think I see the problem. Delete that rule.
Then go to the Virtual Server page. Add the rule there. Make sure it points to your computers IP address

Post a screen shot when you do. And to double check your computers IP
Open a command window and type in ipconfig

After changing I tested this port again in your program but it's still oflline .

[Shane]

I just want to double check, normally 192.168.0.1 is the router IP. What IP are you using to log into the router?

Shane

[orlos2]

I don't know if it's good IP, but I'm logging into router from 87.207.251.123
Also, my friend just told me that I have an internal IP so if I want to open a port, I must call my internet provider. I don't know if it's true, because earlier nothing was wrong and I could open ports.

[Shane]

Open a cmd window, type in ipconfig

what do you get for IP and gateway?

Shane

[orlos2]

IP: 192.168.0.121
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Maybe screenshot can help you. It's in my language but you can compare it to your ipconfig:

[Shane]

OK bud, in the port forwarding rule you will put .121 not .1

Delete the old rule and make a new one. And make sure to use your local ip (The 121)

Shane

[orlos2]

It works! Thanks very much Shane :D

[Shane]

No problem 

Since your all fixed I will lock this thread.

And as always...
If your happy with my work. Then all I ask in return is you simply let others know about my site and programs. I do a lot more than port forwarding
Also always feel free to make a post in the feedback forum.
