Hosting Nightmares vol. 3 ?

[Morgoth]

Okay folks. Every once in a while, I make a post about not being able to host .

>>This problem includes W:A, W3D and W4M<<

I spent hours yesterday, doing many things discribed on the threads, and even my own thread . While they should help, they didn't, as I switched my router to a Linksys AM200 and disabled its use as a firewall (using a software firewall for that purpose, Comodo firewall Pro) .

So please bear with me. I am experienced with PCs but this thing is frustrating to a fault .

First of all I wanted to perform the famed port forwarding .
The thought of doing it is lame, as I turned off the firewall on my router as you can see here .

I tried playing while having the router firewall off and still do, but I cannot host . I can only play other people's games . My comodo firewall allows TCP/IP connections as you can see here.

The problem , as I can understand, is that my router still acts as a darned firewall even with the option turned off. So I tried doing a static IP (having turned off DHCP ) and it still doesn't work . I currently have a static IP as you can see here .

I have turned off DHCP as you can see here .

I know the port needed for W:A is 17011 TCP and I have turned it on here

This router has "Port Range Forwarding" and also "port triggering" I tried using both (not at the same time) none worked.
Heres a pic from it

So please help me solve this with W:A first, and then with W4 and W3D.
Also if you would, tell me which ports are needed for W3D and W4 .

Thanks to everybody that wants to help .

In the screen in the last picture, enter 9 in the last edit field (to make the IP as 192.168.1.9).

Port forwarding is necessary because routing involves NAT (Network Address Translation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation)), which hides your computer from the Internet (and by default makes it impossible to connect to your computer directly from the Internet). This gives your computer a different IP address (in your case 192.168.1.9). If you don't want that behavior and have only one computer behind the router, you can forward all incoming connections by specifying a range such as 1-65535 in the last screen. Make sure to enter your LAN static IP (192.168.1.9) in the "IP Address" column.

i can host thanks but i still haev the problem with Worms 3D and I dunno what ports are needed for ORMS4. Can you provide me with a safe service pack 2 for the W3D game? Or do i have to put both ? I did both before but none worked, see my other post. thanks

I don't know what ports do 3D Worms game use. The only thing I could recommend is an all-port forward (1-65535).
