Already checked that. Is there a way to confirm that the port is being forwarded correctly? Thomas Fjellstrom said: Or a MAC address change. The problem is that there is a device between my modem and my router, that device acts as a dialer and connects to the ISP. If I wanted to mess with my MAC address I'd have to mess with that device. ---- |

Even disabling the windows firewall and setting the PC as a DMZ doesn't allow the canyouseeme thing to work ---- |

Though typically those devices either pass through packets from the lan port as is (no mac change), or they have a nice web admin page for you to change the mac. -- |

Yeah, but to get to an admin page I'd probably have to have the thing connected directly to my computer and/or know the correct address to connect to, both are problematic. ---- |

If the thing does have an admin page, then you might need to port forward on that as well. Or at least setup DMZ. Does the router have the public IP on it's WAN? --- |

I dunno, most of those devices only provide the LAN port as a pass through, and the admin page is there to change settings for it, itself. I'd say theres a 90% chance yours works that way as well. -- |

Is the device between the router and the webs a modem? In order to forward ports on my computer I had to enable port forwarding on both the router and the modem. I got to the admin page of my modem at 192.168.0.1, but I'm not sure what your setup is. ______________________________________ |

My guess is that it's not just a dumb gateway, but rather has its own built in router and runs NAT. Therefore, you're double natted, so have fun with that. Do you have DSL? I assume this 'dialer' just runs PPPoE, so why can't your router do that? I have to disagree with Tomasu here, if it's DSL, most modems/etc I've seen try to do their own routing. If something else is 'dialing' the connection, I doubt it's just a dumb gateway. |

I assumed he meant a VOIP device. Which is usually a dumb pass through on the LAN side. -- |

Most VOIP devices I've seen aren't pass-through either, they have built in routing as well. Though I suppose one may exist that has one 'LAN' port which passes through all other traffic. I guess we need clarification on what this 'dialer' is. Assuming he's made exceptions in the Windows firewall and forwarded correctly on his router, then the only logical conclusions I can come to are his ISP is blocking it (unlikely, especially on an upper port like that), or he's double NATted which doesn't even let his router see the traffic (more likely if he's got something between his modem and router). |

I know I'm double NATted as my modem is a complete gateway: Internet, TV, and phone. --- |

You know you can turn NATing off on most home routers. That'd simplify things. -- |

First, the dialer is indeed a VOIP device (though we are no longer using the VOIP service). ---- |

Has anyone else here built a portal to the Netherworld yet? Edit About to go through it. Here's the other side |

I built two. Sadly, the location of the two resulted in both going to the same place, so for quick travel, it was useless. Oh well, back to strip mining. --- |

Dustin Dettmer said: Has anyone else here built a portal to the Netherworld yet? Yup. It took me many hours because I happened to spawn in a location with a very low number of underground lava pools (i.e: none). I spent hours scouring for surface lava and was finally able to get enough to create the "poor man's portal" using 8 obsidian instead of 12. Once I got to the netherworld I was able to get lots of lava to make new portals. I built a new portal in the netherworld fairly far away from the original portal which comes out a huge distance away from the original one (in a cave, under an ocean). Currently I am building a massive railroad to connect the portals in the normal world, and in the netherworld. I'm pretty much out of iron at this point so I guess I'll have to resume my branch mining... 23yrold3yrold said: Current lifetime Obsidian count: 0
Dustin Dettmer said: I put it in my basement which I now regret 'cause of all the baby screaming that comes out of it. I put my first one in my basement too! I can't hear any baby screams, just the eerie portal 'pulsing' noise. Maybe that's what you mean though. ================================================= |

Can you use them for travel across the map quickly? |

Yes. I believe its a 4:1 ratio, i.e., for every block you move in the Nether you've moved 4 in the real world. |

It's 8:1 ratio. --- |

So if I build two portals 32 blocks apart in the real word, they'll be 4 blocks apart in the ether? edit |
