Yet another hosting problem!

I'm trying to forward the ports on my router and it's not working. I can host fine if I don't use my router though.

I used portforward.com and I have a Belkin F6D4230-4. I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what.

    Try setting "Tribes2_2" from 28000-28000 to 28000-28001. Not sure what the rest of the stuff on there means, but also make sure your server port is in that range. To make sure, type setNetPort(28000);

    28000 is Tribes 2's default, so you might want to try other ports.

    I tried both solutions, neither worked. I have no clue what the problem is. Can it be my modem?

    It may be your modem, that was the problem I had before.

    Is there any way to confirm that? What I mean is my modem is fine by itself, but maybe the router can't figure it out or something? I have no clue what i'm talking about any suggestions are appriciated.

    EDIT: You told me to set my port to 28000-28001. Does tribes use the next one along if the port is already in use or something?

    I don't know, I'm not very good at networking really...

    Aw man. I found a way to host, by plugging my modem in the device slot in the router and then connecting with a normal broad band connection. It's a little annoying though, manually entering the password every time I connect. It also means I can't use the internet on my iTouch. D:

    ok, make sure your LAN ip is fixed, this can be set in the router.

    Make sure your firewall is forwarding port 28000 (or whichever port you're using),
    make sure it points to your fixed LAN ip.

    Remove any client firewall rules that could be preventing tribes 2's communication with the 'net, disabling it will do nothing.

    The client firewall is off. The router firewall is also off. I'm not sure about the router's ip; I think it's allways fixed. At the moment it is 192.168.2.1, the default.
