hi im new to the site (n00b w/e idc) and i have a question: how do u get people to come to ur games? im under the belief that there is something wrong with my computer configuragtion that is inhibiting peoples ability to come to/ see my games on the listing. i have a linksys router and norton, if that helps

ok this is a MAJOR problem in the gaming world that is SO easy to fix, its a router problem my freind, go to comand prompt and type in ipconfig without any paces then open internet explorer and type in the default gateway into your adress bar a box will pop up dont put in anything for the username and if u installed ur router and put in your own password when u installed it this is the time to use it(if not use the word admin *default*) click on aplications and gaming and click on DMZ on the mini bar, pull down the drop bar and click enable then type in the last 3 # of your ip (note u should of kept the comand prompt up for this reason) and hit save changes and HAPPY BIRTHDAY you have urself a working host...able router! i think im gona go put this in the tutorials section now

This puts your computer outside the router in the DMZ, so it is completely open and vunerable to hacking....

REALLY BAD IDEA.....

so put a up a decent firewall and turn it off when you host gamez its that easy or get a new router and bsides i have been on the outside for like 10 yrs and my comps been fine
