here - cause faster response:

ive just come back from uni thus no router:

current setup (simple home network):

my computer -----> brothers computer ------> usb adsl modem

what program can i use to port forward from his computer. The modem is the old alcatel style, and doesnt have any internal options (just plug & play), thus no port forwarding options. I need to find a way to port forward easily so im assuming i need to find a program to put on his computer.

suggestions?

It's fairly simple if you've got XP or 2K. The information is on the microsoft website ( http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;309524 is the XP link)

[edit]

Although that's only really necessary if you've got requests coming in; most things activate the ports by request (games for instance), although DCCs of all types will be worried.

Call the ships to port.

I didn't know you played Halo. Boom boom.

I have 4 bottles of Dow's 96 LBV, so I'm pretty pleased.

i know - i considered it, but im just not comfortable with meeting strangers from the net (although i know ur a lovely person - its just something about me). i've seen you a fair few times in uni tho.

if i get over this strange phobia and you are ever down to meet some of the other people next year ill let you know.

Actually, I was just talking to myself endlessly about things that only made sense to me or possibly not even me.

You are always grossly over-consuming alcohol.

Carry on.

I haven't touched a drop since, well, last week, and today I did two hours on the rowing machine.

maybe you should forward this thread to the computer forum.

Why do they want to talk about port?

Why not go on the river. It's especially pleasant at this time of year. You could row to Stravanger.

It's Durham Regatta, so the river is very busy, and my scull is currently without riggers.

Nobody said you had to row exclusively on the water. There is always the overland option as far as Sunderland.

Why not get the bishop to load up on scolding-irons, and jump off the bridge. The resulting wave would propel you at least part of the distance.

Bah, this was my last year at uni though.

Will probably be around some time next term if you are around and feel like saying "hi" though. I'm worried of me playing Pool in Bar One has scared you though. eeek!

Get a ADSL Router, its the easiest and most hassle free way of doing what you want to.

And not with strangers in Real Life either?

Dante Hicks · 13 Jun 2004, 01:19

Without wishing to add to the off-topic-fest but how are people from these forums strangers?

I'd say I "know" some people on these forums better than I know, say, some of my work colleagues.
