Schnitzelnagler	Have you reconfigured your port forwarding on your router?

Kinger556	Yeah, I pretty much triple checked everything. Nothing was out of place or anything.

Schnitzelnagler	What exactly is the problem when you're trying to host? Can you host non BYOND related games? You checked if the computer was assigned a new internal IP and that is being forwarded to by the router now? Have you checked your virus scanner?

Everytime I try to host it says this:

World opened on network port 1232.
Welcome BYOND! (4.0 Public Version 477.1084)

BYOND hub reports port 1232 cannot be reached by players.

A firewall or router may be interfering with your connection. For information on hosting worlds through a firewall or router, please visit BYOND Help or portforward.com.

Also, I dont know any non-byond related games to test it
and my computer has the same internal ip

Well, there are only so many likely possibilities.

Router not properly port forwarding
Firewall(s)
Other security software (e.g. overprotective virus scanner)

If all these would be set up properly for your computer's IP and the port you're trying to host on for the TCP protocol on all four main BYOND executables, you'd not face any problem.

I'm sorry, but I can not really tell you much more than that.
