I went to
canyouseeme.org and it said on all ports I tested:
Error: I could not see your service on blah blah on port (7777)
Reason: Connection refused
I tried using this one program called SPI Port Forward that actually got my ports opened, but I got a runtime error every time I tried to execute MatchServer.exe.
I deactivated firewall, though I'm not sure if I've got to do anything else with it other than just disabling it. Also, I'm perfectly sure all my other settings are fine, since the server shows up in the login screen and I can connect using the localhost IP.
Does anyone have a solution for this? Is my MatchServer.exe corrupted, despite the fact that it works when the port forwarding software is not running? (canyouseeme.org no longer detected the ports as open when I closed the program) Maybe there's a problem with my router?
I've been able to host a server before, having forwarded my ports on the same router I'm using right now; so I'm clueless at the moment.
Hi,
I have the exact same problem with my router, but I found a program online and tested it and it worked for me. Its called SPI PortForward, here is a link give it a try a "http://download.cnet.com/SPI-Port-Forward/3000-2651_4-10764348.html" all it requires is a "local Port", followed by "Remote host" being your IP, "remote port" and amount of connections. just click activate and hopefully your good to go! (this helped me to put my server online for me and my friends to just play around in)

He has tried SPI PortForward (as it says in the main post).
Re: Forwarded ports but they are still closed.
Thanks for the recommendation, but as I said in the post you quoted, I already tried that program and it made my MatchServer.exe crash and give a runtime error when I opened it. Might be a problem with the server files.

As far as I know it's not a problem with the server files. I downloaded and configured 2008 server files but my Locator port was still "closed" even when the ports are meant to be open.
