Joining my own server
Hi guys,
New at this router stuff but here is what I've done.
I have a Linksys Cable router BEFSR41 v.2, I Upgraded my Firmware version to 1.44 as instructed.
I found some port numbers on the web for df2 and entered them into the "PORT TRIGGERING" section on PC#1.
In the four blanks I put
3568/3569 - 3568/3569
Now when I hosted from PC#1, everyone was able to join and everyone was happy.
Well today I decided to host on PC#2 and see if I could join the server with PC#1. Server went up fine; "Nobody" could join not even me.
So I brought up PC#1 again , people "were" able to join no problem. I tried to join from PC#2 and it wouldn't let me.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need another set of port number or something because these are already in use?
Any help would be appreciate
Hell

I also have a Linksys router, in the manual it will mention where the router assigns the computers IP's probably something like http://192.168.1.1
which if you type this in on your web browser will show you the different computers on your network. If you opened the ports you may have only opened
them to/from one computer, I suggest opening them for both. Good luck.
