Trying to forward a port on my router

Post » Wed Jun 29, 2011 5:43 pm

Im trying to make a server on Terraria using hamachi but my router is blocking my friend out. I found out my computer ip (my computer ip, not my houses ip assigned by my isp) and entered it in. http://screenshots.portforward.com/Cisco/Linksys_E3000/Single_Port_Forwarding.htm I put in a random port number for both slots, 56565, and set the protocol to both and put the last 3 digits of my computer ip, but its not working. Does it need to be the last 3 of my friends ip, or the Hamachi ip or something? I just learned about all this today.

1) Did you make sure to give your PC a static IP?
2) Allow the program through the firewall?
3) Is the same port that you have forwarded on the router the same port that you have set for Hamachi?

1) I am in the process of trying to figure out how to change my computer's ip to a static one.
2) The program is allowed through my firewall.
3) This time I went to a different screen on my router that said http://screenshots.portforward.com/Cisco/Linksys_E3000/Port_Range_Forwarding.htm I was allowed to forward the port that i picked when I started the server through Terraria (which I assume is the one Hamachi is using); it wouldnt let me enter the port into the screen on the op.

EDIT: Fixed.
