DONT THINK IM BEING FUNNY BUT I REALLY AM A NOOB THATS FAR TO COMPLICATED FOR ME

Ive Tryed Reading All That B4 And It Just Pisses Me Off It Goes On About Stuff Ive Never Heard Off

Maybe you should just pay someone to do it for you.

Hehe, you can't help being a noob

First thing, how do you connect to the internet? Do you have a modem plugged into your computer which goes straight into the phone line, or do you have a router?

If you're connected via a router, you might have to open up one or two ports I think..

Im Using A Router (wireless)

Open Ports ?? Wtf Lol

It's okay!

Think of it as if the postman's delivering your post. He puts it through your letterbox, that's fine, but then it needs a name on it so you know it's yours.

This is a little bit like that. You need to tell your router to send LFS stuff through to your computer. What router (make/model) is it?

Hi,

I was a complete noob at this but I learnt. Try Portforwarding.com, that should talk you throught this step by step.

Unfortunately no....not because we are mean, but because its computer network setup not hop scotch...Its gonna take some learning.

Not much though, its not THAT hard...as said Portforwarding.com is KEY.

In real life the port out at the dock is where shipments come and go....and in the computer world its kinda the same deal. Your IP address basically identifies the computer on the internet then different ports on that IP are used for different programs sending and receiving info. Your router needs to be set up to automaticaly forward the server info to the right port.

Most the time it seems you only need to forward port 63392, but if that doesn't work make sure you forward 29339 as well.

Just follow the guide for your router step by step and you should be good.
