and gone to whats my IP web sites and put what it says in game cofig

[CyberShadow]

Hm, why did you set up forwarding to 4 different IPs? You only need to forward it to your LAN IP address. You can find it out by looking at your connection's properties or typing ipconfig in a command prompt - find the line starting with "IP Address . . ."

If the rest of the configuration will be correct, you can try hosting a game and using the website http://www.canyouseeme.org/ to check if the port 17011 is open. The website will attempt to connect to your external IP (it will autodetect it) and the specified port, to see if someone will "pick up" the connection request. If it fails, then you're not done with your router config - check firewall settings and whatever else may affect incoming connections.

[Little Kid]

ok ty ill give it a go

[Little Kid]

it said :

Error: I could not see your service on 87.112.23.136 on port (17011)
Reason: Connection refused

[CyberShadow]

Then you didn't configure your router correctly. Did you set up forwarding to your LAN IP like I said?

[Little Kid]

yeah 192.168.0.2 i did all 4 should i delete the ones im not using?

[CyberShadow]

Yes .

[Little Kid]

ok ty done that ive done all it says on nanacide

[Little Kid]

bit defender says its open but can you see me says same as b4
30196

[franpa]

you do know that 87.112.23.136 is not your LAN IP?

[CyberShadow]

He probably does... although I'm out of suggestions at the moment. It's hard to diagnose something like this.
You can try to ask the person/company who set up your Internet connection to configure this for you, or perhaps a computer-savvy friend?

[Little Kid]

you do know that 87.112.23.136 is not your LAN IP?

my lan ip is 192.168.0.2 and my other ip is now 87.112.31.239

[franpa]

you on dialup? you should have a static ip -.-

[Little Kid]

you on dialup? you should have a static ip -.-

no im not on dial up

[Little Kid]

when i got to whats my ip web sites is that my static ip?

[Little Kid]

god netgear and plus net are ****

[franpa]

www.whatismyip.org is your external wan internet IP

[kikumbob]

I know that whenever I disconnect my router from the internet and reconnect it, my external IP changes. When this happens, I have to look my WAN IP up again and change it in the config menu in worms. Otherwise I won't be able to host a game.

i do that but still cant host =',[

[Little Kid]

im on lan anyway cable

I thought the with the new update you wouldn't have to update the IP every time :confused:

Can you try to uncheck the 'Force IP' box and try to host without updateing your IP?

[Little Kid]

oh i can host on lan game but not online:( is there no way i can host???

[Little Kid]

is there any other ports that need to be fowarded to make worms work

[Blitza`]

Try 17010, 17011, 17012 and 6667. But i have a netgear router aswell, and it doesnt work for me either :/

[Little Kid]

ok ty ill give it ago

[franpa]

for routers only 17011 needs to be forwarded for worms armageddon, the rest just need to be allowed through the firewall/s. 17012 is for worms world party and needs to be forwarded if you play that game online too..

[Little Kid]

did not work any way

[Blitza`]

Just out of curiosity, which version of the netgear router do u have? WGR614v6 By any chance?

[Etho]

17012 is for worms world party and needs to be forwarded if you play that game online too..

Not true. You do not need to forward any ports to play W:A or WWP online. However, you do need to forward port 17011 to host games in WWP.

[franpa]

ah, you misinterpreted and/or i wrote it badly, i meant that if you play that game too then you would need to forward 17012 just like you did 17011 for W:A if you want the same results as what you would get in W:A.

is that er, written correctly?

[Etho]

No, I don't think so franpa. I think you just rephrased the incorrect information of your previous post. Worms World Party does not require the port 17012 to be open to successfully host a game. It requires port 17011 to be open. This is the same default port Worms Armageddon uses, although Worms Armageddon now supports the use of other ports too. And just like with Worms Armageddon, you do not need to open this port to join hosted games.

[Blitza`]

Etho, did u just delete my post?!? :mad:

[Little Kid]

so what port do i need to forward?
not that it helps fowarding dont work anyway

[franpa]

17011 for tcp, or whatever you set in the game.

[Little Kid]

17011 for tcp, or whatever you set in the game.

do i need to do port 80 and 6667?

[Little Kid]

can i host on any port if i change it in settings?

[Little Kid]

and if i do will ppl get on it? if i find an open port

[Blitza`]

You only need port 17011 apparently. 80 is Html i think and u dont need 6667.

[Little Kid]

ok ty still cant host you no any other ports i can use

[CyberShadow]

You only need to forward port 17011 or whatever you specified in the game settings. Forwarding 80 and 6667 is unnecessary and unadvised. Only people using 3.6.28.0 (the latest Beta update) or newer will be able to join your games if you hosted on a port other than 17011.

[Little Kid]

OK some more info i have plus net Broadband and a netgear dg834gt router
and bit defender V10 internet security suite i have fowarded port 17011 and
i cant host

tyvm some 1 that talk sence and can it be any port i want i dont really no any

[Little Kid]

...........

[franpa]

yes, any port, you will still need to forward it in your router tho.

[Little Kid]

ok tyvm you no any ports i may have open??

[franpa]

nope. only the owner of the router could know.

[bonz]

nope. only the owner of the router could know.
Not necessarily.
Anyone that knows the password can. ;)

Try the "Adress Reservation" funtion under the "Lan IP Setup" tab of your router. Add a Reservation, then forward your port(s) to the new IP adress. If the IP adress is the same then just re-forward the port(s).

If you lose connection to the internet then follow these steps..

1) Click start
2) Click Run
3) Type "cmd", then hit enter
4) In the black box, type "ipconfig/release"
5) Wait untill it is released (the IP should show 0.0.0.0 etc.)
6) Finally type "ipconfig/renew"

Then you should get back your internet connection.

IF ALL FAILS..

Then reset your router. :D

i made a static ip so would this still work? (i cant try now i am on a dif comp)

[Blitza`]

Yes it should still work.

[Little Kid]

ok ive done that and still cant host

[Wormetti]

I have the same router and I can host if I have the port forwarded to the correct LAN IP.

It's probably Bit Defender V10 internet security suite at fault. Can you try without it? From that screenshot, it looks like Bit Defender is just showing ports that are listening but that doesn't mean that Bit Defender is allowing connection to them.

i have turned it off still dont work when i put any port from run cmd type: netstat -an

on canyouseeme.org it says :

Error: I could not see your service on 87.113.86.46 on port (17011)
Reason: Connection timed out

[Little Kid]

i also made a static ip so its alway 192.168.0.136

[Little Kid]

and thats what ive got the ports going to

[Blitza`]

This should solve your problem.

Just find your Router model and follow the instructions given, basically just scroll down to the different sections, and find your router model...

my routers not there oh ive deleted bitdefender of my computer to

[Blitza`]

Ok, you said your router model was the "Netgear dg834gt Router" correct?

Your router model is basically the same model as the dg834, which is listed in the second lot of instructions.

These routers all run around the same basic principal(s). So give it a shot and follow those instructions with your router.

[Blitza`]

He has tried that agent smith, that website only tells you how to configure and forward your ports. He knows how to do this, the problem is the port forwarding isnt working for him.
