DSL hosting help

[mainman2lazy]

hello, since this isnt a mac game related question i found it more suitable to be put in this thread.

i have a cisco 678 router picture hereL: (http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/rt/600rt/prodlit/678so_ds.htm)

Recently it wont lt be able to host. Ive done "port forwarding" Like i used to do and as explained in this article (http://www.u.arizona.edu/~trw/games/example.htm)

Now some reason now it wont let me host any f$#% games.

Got any ideas how to fix this bs?

thank you-mainman

Have you changed anything since the problem started happening?

Examples... screwing around with internet settings, installing a new operating system, taking a hammer to a hard drive...

Anything?

naaa

only thing that i could think of was that qwest (my provider) did a check up on the cisco's passwords incase people were illeagly using them... thats about it??!?!?!?!?!?!

Weird... seems like things are just stopping to work.

Today my mom told me that she couldn't open Sherlock.
It just wouldn't open. You could click on it, it would bounce in the dock twice, and then stop. Nothing happens. No black arrow under the dock or anything.

Anyway, sorry, I guess i'm completely stumped with your DSL problem. Usually when things stop working it's cause something was changed (A glitch in the Matrix!   )  But when nothing is changed, I just don't understand.

Can you telnet to the router Mainman?

[mainmanman]

yes i can just fine, actually it starting 2 work agian.. so i have no idea wtf is going on. ty snipe for ur help anyway

1. make sure your fowarding the right port to the right ip:
ex: in ur browser interface, make sure that the port is forwarded to the ip of the machine your hosting on.

2. make sure to hit apply/update

3. not sure if it matters, make sure it is on both UDP/TCP

4. if u want to host with a ping showing make sure to disable your WAN Request.

Hope this may be helpfull.

mainman, i have a cisco dsl modem provided by qwest too and let me tell ya they suck for hosting. before, no one could download anything from my hotline server and i couldnt host so i messed around with this program that changes the modem specs and this guy showed me how to work it. however, i have forgotten how to do it. despite the fact that my dsl modem gives exemplary upstream bandwidth (30+ kilobytes per second), my host sucks and times out frequently. tell me if you solve any of these problems because whatever solution you find i would love to do on my damn qwest modem (a cisco 675).

That would probably be a bad idea...

 lol vip actually tasty if u look at the links i had in my 1st statment that could get some of ur problems outa the way.

Last night i clocked at 111 ms for ping so that isnt that bad. my bud on a collage pick up a 85 ms!!! soo... i think its cause im mooching off my dads buisness connection 712k i think.. not sure.. But ur right tasty dont host with qwest (hard core) unless u buy their static IP package.. then agian thats some serious $$ like 50/m.

712Kbps is slow for a buiness connection.  I hope he's not paying a lot for that.  If your dads buisness is using a pretty good amount of bandwidth your side would be slower.

Btw, most cable services are around $50 per month.  The buisness cable service in my area is $95 per month, but it's a 3.5Mbps pipe, with a bullshit of an uploaded speed at 512Kbps.
