Are you familiar enough with the Windows Registry to look up BYOND related entries?
What was the name of the folder you found in your application data?
Please look up your settings at File->Preferences->Advanced.

There is a TON of entries relating to BYOND/DreamSeeker ETC., I don't really want to waste the time posting everything related. Could you be more specific in what you want in my reg?
2. I did not find any folders in my application data, and I read this http://www.byond.com/members/ BYONDHelp?command=view_post&post=29715 so I added a "cfg" folder, and a "cache" folder to my current BYOND folder.
3.
Hub Address: xbadassx
Pager Port: 9991
User Directory: C:\Documents and Settings\?????\My Documents\BYOND\



Do you think it could be my router's built in firewall blocking BYOND'S packets coming into my computer? If so, what ports do I need to forward so packets can go back and forth.

Is there anything in your registry pointing to the former BYOND build that you used?

Did you try with and without the port set in the preferences?

Hmm, do you mean the folder that contains your BYOND program files (bin and the like) with "current BYOND folder"?
If that's the case, no, that's not where it would belong.

This is the folder you should be looking up for cache and cfg:
C:\Documents and Settings\?????\My Documents\BYOND\ (guessing you replaced your userid by ???? ;))

Yes, your routers firewall might interfere.

1. I reformatted my computer before the installation the new build(440.1018).
So there shouldnt be any information on the older version of BYOND.

2.Yes

3. C:\Documents and Settings\?????\My Documents\BYOND\ is where I placed for cfg and the cache. It was never in the same folder as the bin.

4. Which ports should I forward for my router?

If nothing else is running on the port, then the one you had selected in the preferences on BYOND looks fine.

I thought so too, but it's still getting blocked somehow.

Just to make sure that wasn't the problem, I opened the ports 10001,10002,1337,10009,2222,666,6111,6090,2958(All chosen randomly by button-mashing my keyboard LOL) and tested them all in BYOND. Just to be 100% sure none of them are the ports used, and that isn't the problem.

I really think my router is the problem, but if I can't play BYOND soon I am planning switching this computer to DMZ just so I can get a few hours of BYOND in. I know all the security risks.

Edit: Although I'm not really sure my router is the problem. Won't know if itll work even if I switch to DMZ.

I will try to post again and see if I can draw some attention to this.
