Cry Can't host gliche just got me too

I am in the same boat. Recently moved and then shortly after, I have a major Hard Drive crash, and a DELL technician put a new 250G hard drive in, and a NVidia Video-PX6600-256 Graphics card in. Window XP pro had to reinstalled as nothing was salvagable from the old hard drive. Now just like you for the first time no one can join my site. I can join other sites but when anyone tries to join my site, it just freezes up on them. DELL Tech Support claims it is not the PC; and Linksys Tech Support Claims it is not their Router, all the correct port numbers are there; and my Cable ISP Tech Support claims it is not their Cable internet; so on to NVidia Tech Support, and Novalogic Tech Support. When I find the answer, I will post it here.

Biggrin

YEAH! Got mine working! Somehow between Tech Support and me, when we reinstalled everything, my assigned IP address for this PC, got the last two digits changed. That is the forwarding address that has to be assigned to the router ports you open to host and play the game. You can check your PC's assigned IP address by going to: CONTROL PANEL; Network Connections; right click on the Local Area Connections that is connected; then click on STATUS. If yours is manually configured, it will be the IP address under the words Manually Configured. Then you can go back to your Router Setup program where you opened the ports and see if it has the same IP address typed there.

Yes, I also discovered that I had 3 different Firewalls to disable. One that I installed: ETrust EZ Firewall; the Windows Firewall that Service Pack 2 enabled; and the Firewall in the Router itself. I have heard that some software products have their own built in Firewalls, so you do not want any programs running in the background while you are trying to host.

Really glad to be up and hosting again. Colored_FOG, will be up and running at 8:30 PM Pacific time tonight! CYA there.
