I am attempting to set up a network game of poker on pokerTH 0.5 when I try to connect to my mates pc i get a message saying if the server is behin a NAT router make sure port forwading is enabled.

He gets the same thing if we do it the other way around

What kind of a router do you or your friend have?

 

Your router will have a tab on it that allows you to forward application traffic on a specific inbound port to a specific IP address.

Have a look on the WEBUI of your router.

 

I have the netghear dg8343g router supplied by aol but i havent got it set up wireless, it just strait connected to the ethernet port my mate has a modem supplied by bt

 

I see, I dont know the exact location of where the port forwarding tab would be on that router but I agree with Zeb basicaly login to your router and look for something that says port forwarding or application and gaming tabs in the router interface.

 

ok cheers people i will have a look

 

Can't find anything on the net about that model. You sure you've got the model number right?

 

There's a page listed on NetGear's site for the DG834 Router - maybe the submodel you have is one that was released as part of a tie-in with *** (I won't even say the company name any more)

Here ya go

 

Cheers dude I will have a look.

I know quite a lot of people on here are f***** off with AOL the only problem I have with them is that sometimes you access a site from your browser then it puts you into the aol thing.........no need, otherwise I havent got any complaints
