I want to set up a Dedicated server and my friend said I needed to enable port forwarding for people to see my server cause currently no one else but me can. Thanks :toast:
 
On your Router. Type the address it be some thing like 192.168.1.1 look in the manual of your router. O yeah should have a password in there too maybe some thing like Admin.

O yeah what Router do you have ?..
 
I got it OEM so no manual. D-LINK EBR 2310
 
What is your server used for? If it's FTP then forward ports 20 and 21 from the router to your server's internal IP address. If it's a game server then forward that port, etc.
 
idk about any of this stuff I just want to get my TF2 dedicated server working lol...
 
forward ports 27015 and 27020

Likely there's more sorry don't play TF2 not my type of FPS.

If it still not working you could try DMZ your router this will open EVERY port for a local IP.

If you want to know your local IP addres use the IPConfig in a dos box.
 
You might also want to try things like making sure your PC is not set to private, then its invisible. Also, make sure your firewall is not disabling things like file sharing, or stealthing your pc.
