Hi and welcome to TSF!
Is the 2Wire router the only external device you are using for Internet?
Download and install the PF port checker to see if it reads the ports as open.

Do you have the ports open to just one computer? Also, can you post a screenshot of the page in the router where you forwarded?

12a13b14c · 09-12-2009, 08:04 PM

Yes i olny have one computer but i have had alot of other computer hooked up to this router.....

Looks like an internal IP.

12a13b14c · 09-13-2009, 12:47 AM

What do u mean by that ?

**Jason09** · 09-13-2009, 07:59 PM

Is the Windows firewall the only other firewall you use?

12a13b14c · 09-13-2009, 08:56 PM

**Jason09** · 09-14-2009, 11:56 AM

What game are you trying to host for?

12a13b14c · 09-14-2009, 12:03 PM

World of Warcraft

**Jason09** · 09-14-2009, 12:07 PM

Have you tried contacting your ISP to make sure they don't block the ports that are required to be open?

12a13b14c · 09-14-2009, 12:51 PM

yeah i just called them up and the olny port they are blocking that i neede server to run the is port 80

**Jason09** · 09-15-2009, 01:06 PM

Did you create a static IP when you forwarded the ports?

12a13b14c · 09-15-2009, 01:20 PM

Yes i created a stactic ip on my computer when i forwarded the ports

**Jason09** · 09-16-2009, 12:38 PM

Try a factory default reset.

Note: This will reset everything you have set in the router, including network keys (WEP, WPA etc.), time, filters etc, and restore the router completely to default settings. Take a paper clip, and push it in the reset button for 10-15 seconds. Then configure settings in the router and open the ports again, and check them using the port checker.

12a13b14c · 09-16-2009, 02:46 PM

Okay so i reset the router and tryed to forward the ports but nothing.........
ummmmm if im on wireless would that matter ?

**Jason09** · 09-17-2009, 12:53 PM

That would affect how traffic is handeled by the router, as there may be dropped packets. However, that shouldn't affect the ports. Have you tried port forwarding another application? If so, did it work, or did you have the same problem?

12a13b14c · 09-17-2009, 02:24 PM

yes i tryed to make a Uo server b4 and i had the same problem
