If it dosnt work and you're sure that you did it the right way, then its possible the problem lies in your computer, such as a software firewall, or windows firewall blocking the connections.

If you're using the windows firewall, you're kinda lucky since that's the easiest firewall to open ports in. All you need to do is, open the firewall, go to exceptions, open port (or something) And then you write whatever you want as a name, your local IP adress is easy to get, just go to the function "Drive" open it, and then you write "cmd", and perhaps, a black window should pop-up in that moment, just write ipconfig and enter, there you go. Back to firewall, how to open ports, when you have written your local IP adress then write 7171 in the port box and choose TCP and then open the port. When that's done, go to exceptions again and open the port 7171 same again, but this time you choose UDP instead of TCP. If that doesn't work, just try shut it down, your router/virus program will handle everything.

If that helped, gimme some reputations dude

Since when does antivirus-programs monitor inbound/outbound connections made by/to your computer...? *cough*

For a while, so how come I can turn off my firewall 24/7 without having any viruses? If anyone attempt attacking my computer, my virus program is taking care of it, I'm getting messages sometimes like "A virus attempt attacking your computer, type of HTLM code. The code is suspicious" something, do you want to block it? - Yes.


Wolah.

*facepalm*

Im not even gonna start a discussion... suffice to say you should visit wikipedia or some other online resource and learn up about computer security, since hacking and viruses is two completly different things, and antivirus solutions is never coded to cope with direct intrusions, they just handle "bad" programs executed on your computer.

As for what you said, OBVIOUSLY you would be able to turn your firewall off and be safe from getting viruses, since once again, firewalls arent made to check what programs is running and not running on your computer, it only checks in/out connections made by the programs running.

And sweetie, the message you sometimes get from your antivirus, that isnt hacking, that is your antivirus program warning you that said HTML code contains malicious scripting ment to install either viruses or spyware on your computer, which is something COMPLETELY different from hacking.


So please, dont advice other people to turn off their firewalls, it would be a horrible security risk and could make them vunerable to DDoS, Keyloggers, Trojans and more.
