Port Forwarding On Fios

[ryder911]

Does anyone have verizon fios that can help me figure out how to set up router so people can join my server? Little confused on the set up they use on this router. Was much easier on my old linksys.

I second that.
I also have Verizon FIOS, and all port opening I have tried on it do not seem to produce any effect. I cannot host ANY games what so ever, not just EQ.

I add 7000 - 7100 range on the router and did 9000 90001 range also, but still no one has join or even tried to join it seems like

Plug your original router into the fios router like you were connecting a pc. Put that ip on the DMZ. Your original router is now connected to the internet without fios mucking with it. Connect your eq pc to the original router and configure. Works for me.

ahhh My problem could've been because of my second router. I have the fios router then another router as an access point that my pc is hardwired to. I didn't forward ports on that - maybe that was it. I am going to give that a try.

Yeah, if you are using 2 routers (basically) like that which are linked together, you need to port range forward on both of them. But, just make sure that your FIOS modem/router is forwarding to your actual router (Linksys or whatever), NOT the IP of your server, as it won't know the IP of the server due the second Linksys router being in between as an extra gateway. Just check your Linksys router config and see what the IP is for it's WAN interface and forward to that IP from your FIOS router/modem. Then, forward to your actual server IP from your Linksys router.

Sorry if that sounds a bit confusing lol.

Ok I put dmz on my access point router - then on fios one i forward 7000 - 7100 on tcp and udp and then forwarded port 9000 on both tcp and udp.. Lets see if this works - haha if someone has chance could they try and log onto No Man's Land Server and lemme know how it goes - thanks

I'd honestly take your 2nd router off NAT, just make it work as a switch.

NAT? Im not too swift with all this networking jazz haha
