More info on your network setup would be useful then.

Why do you have a LAN IP? If you have a router, and it's even halfway decent nanacide (http://www.nanacide.com/wahelp/) will get it working.

Otherwise, if you've using something like Internet Connection Sharing, there is an option for port forwarding for that, try searching for some more specifics.

That should be easy peasy to get working then.

Just find some instructions on port forwarding, and then force your external IP in the wormnet config.

ok ty where can i find some?

What have you done specifically?

What ports have you forwarded? Have you forwarded them to the right internal IP? Is there some over-zealous firewall on your router? on your pc? Have you forced the correct external IP?

i done 17011 thats it only firewall i got on pc is bitdefender v10 not sure about router

i did all 4

Righto, so 17011 is definitely forwarded through the router to your correct internal IP address, and is definitely allowed through your firewall?

edit: Ah right, is your external IP forced in worment settings?

i think so

If you've been into the router config, and forwarded port 17011 to your internal IP, and forced your external IP in wormnet, it should work so long as there are no firewalls messing things up.

Have you had anyone test if they can join?

ok ty but i bet it wont ill close the firewall

not working =[

First, find your external IP (google for "whats my ip"), go into WA, go on the wormnet/lan menu and click on "Configuration", put your external IP on the space on the right and tick "Force IP".

Now open 17011 on your router configuration and make sure you redirect the ports to your internal IP "192.168...." TPC.

I just went through those steps and I'm able to host.

the ports are fine cuz when i go into my firewall (bitdefender) in activity
worms armageddons there open that it says opend ports... open that and in there is 17011 17010 and 17012

yak you on a Lan?

Have you done everything I describe in my previous post?

yep i think

You've definitely gone into the router config?

i went into...


Add Services

Service Definition

and then...


Firewall Rules

Outbound Services

Default Yes Any ALLOW always Any Any Never



Inbound Services

Default Yes Any BLOCK always Any Any Never

Oh right. So long as that's all correct, it should work then.

but it does not work =[

It looks to me as if you only configured your software firewall (Bitdefender), but not your hardware firewall (your Netgear router).
They are not the same.
