:(
I just can't figure it out... I need help... Desperately :,-(
I have an ADSL connection through a ZyXel 642R-router and a switch (two computers plugged into it on my home-lan)
Now I want to be able to host online-games or Netmeeting but I can't figure out how to do! I assigned my puter's ip to the default SUA-server (in the router's management software) and port number 80 (WWW) as well.
Why can't anybody still ping my puter??? And... How would they have to do it? if my external address is for example 100.101.102.103, why can't another puter connect to me by entering 100.101.102.103:80?
I'm a newbie in networking and definitely in need of help :-(((
Do I have to install some kind of server program???
