Turn off your Router Firewall and if you have any virusscanners or firewalls on your pc (These days pretty much every virus scanner has a firewall) disable them. If you didn't already.

I've had the same problem for a while. Long ago, my ports used to be forwarded correctly and I could join and host games fine, but it was still occasionally laggy. So I did everything in this thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=86801 and now I can't create games. Even more, I can't even create games on LAN anymore. Other computers on the network can see it, but when they try to join it it says "unable to join game". I've tried undoing everything in that thread, but I don't know what the settings used to be before I changed them.

I'd really appreciate any help on this of course. It's usually not that bad just having to join other people's games, but when there's only 8 people your rank in the channel and half of them can't create, it becomes a big problem.

Yea, that Port Forwarding website didn't work for me either :p Gahh... I wish there was a way to fix this... this is seriously delaying my potentially awesome training time :p

Set your local computer's IP to 192.168.1.101. Set DHCP on your router to give out IPs starting from 192.168.1.102. Forward necessary ports to .101. Never have problems again.

How? Im using the router inexq, which is apparently...well, unknown. :o

Edit: I have a dynamic ip, and it says I need to have a static one...I dont 'know if I should change that, considering this is all my dad's set up not mine. :\

you can't change from a dynamic ip to a static ip if you're talking about your connection from your modem to the Internet (worldwide). However, you should be able to set a static ip to your local network for your computer. If you change it to something like 192.168.1.101, it shouldn't mess with anything else on your local network (unless A. something is already under that ip or B. you have over 100ish devices connected to your local network).

Disable your routers firewall. that's the usual problem.

check what your ip is, type ipconfig into cmd and see what it says, it should match the ip your forwarding ports to. if it doesnt, change it.

Ok, so I'm using ragnasaur's website right now. Wow there're a lot of routers! But I found my model.

So, it says to enter my static IP... does that mean I set it to 192.168.1.101 like ShadowDrgn said?

And I hope this doesn't effect my PC security... it doesn't... right? :p

Thanks so much for the help so far guys!

There should be a guide about static ips on that site Ragnasaur mentioned

1. go to your router config (typ ip adress into the browser if you haven't out yet)
2. limit dhcp range (dhcp is the tool that gives the pc 's ip adresses) for example
192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.20 i'd advice you to start from 100 to some number depends on ammount of pc's in your network.
here it's for example 10.0.1.100 to 10.0.1.120 caus we have around 13 pc's around here (we always take some reserve)
3. give yourself a static ip. take 192.168.3 or something don't touch the router. (the ip adress must be out of the dhcp range)
4. now simply follow the portforward site
5. i geuss your firewalls is turned off huh?

Thanks for the advice guys. I managed to get the host going with a dmz [im probably going to change to a static ip with your advice tomorrow], but oddly, when my ip changed [does about once a day] I can no longer host. I changed my dmz to my new ip, same process as before, but I cant host now. Totally inexplicable, totally random.

I can fucking host again Wooooooooooooooooo.

Thanks to something in this thread, to be honest, I don't know even know what I did. But whatever I did, it worked. I can host games now. I think it really started to work when I disabled the windows firewall. So thanks everybody, this thread really helped me. Now I can actually play MOTW whenever I want. No more python! No more python!
