I tried opening the port I always host on (3636), doesn't work
IP 192.168.1.1
Protocol: TCP&UDP

It doesn't work =(
For BYOND.exe, or for something else?

Er, BYOND.exe I guess.

Whatever program handles the hosting thingie.

Generally you should not open ports in a program-specific way like this. BYOND can use several programs for hosting games, though only byond.exe handles the pager.

Bear in mind, 192.168.1.1 is likely not your computer. Odds are it's your router, particularly if it's a Linksys. To get your machine's actual local IP address in Windows XP, open a command prompt with Start | Run | cmd, and then type ipconfig. That will tell you the IP address being used by your machine, and will list the router as a gateway.

Note that you may have to keep changing settings on the router if you use DHCP (that is, if your local IP address is assigned by the router and changes each time). There are two ways around this: 1) Give your computer a static IP on the local subnet, like 192.168.1.99, or 2) get a router like a D-link that can reserve certain addresses for certain computers.

If you have any further problems, I recommend checking out portforward.com.
