I have tried to port forward multiple times, and it just hasn't worked properly. My router is the D-Link DIR-815 and my internet provider is Teksavvy if that matters. I got LAN hosting correctly, but anything online won't work for me. Can someone help me out with this please?

I followed the guide you posted, and it is still not letting anyone join. I made sure to look at my Firewall settings, and I changed them accordingly. byond://127.0.0.1:5352, Any suggestions?
 | |
Your IP is not 127.0.0.1 , that's localhost (your pc's internal address it loops to itself.)
byond://69.165.137.155:5352 Regardless, connection failed. | |
So how do I stop it from looping my internal address? I did everything the guide told me to do, and it said nothing about my localhost interfering with the port.
| |
That was the link I was given when I connected to the server.

Can you open up command prompt, you can do this via the start menu > run and typing in cmd and show me the output of
ipconfig | |
This is the current ipconfig:
 And this is the old one:  | |
Your router needs to open the port of your choosing toward 192.168.0.50. That's your computer's local IP address on your network. Use that instead of 127.0.0.1.

Ya, I set 192.168.0.50 as the IP to use, as you can see in an earlier post. I'm still confused as to why it's not working, I even turned my firewall completely off to see if it was the problem, and no luck. | |

http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm I already downloaded, and used that program to test my connection, but thanks.

I followed the port forwarding guide for my router, and the application completely, it showed the application name, and computer name as the default, which is what mine's at currently. I also used their program to change my IP to a static like it said too, I don't know if that makes a difference. | |
Seems strange, everything looks set up correctly..
| |
Ya, I followed the guide correctly, though it is rather outdated. This whole thing just has me stumped, it could just be that my internet, or router isn't compatible.
