Does your internet service provider matter?

I have tried mannnyyyyy times w/ different programs to get my own emu server running, but it never works. A friend/ "computer guy" recently told me that cablevision has something to do w/ it. Is this true? Does ne1 here have optimum online as there internet and have an emu running?

Providers arent the problem, the data packets which the emu sends are like all the others, so there cant be a problem with it. The main problems are routers, cuz often they block the emu at any time.

Ya i have a router, what do i do w/ it to allow me to make 1?

other than open the 8085, 8080 and that other port, cause i already did that. Whell at least i think i did, how do i open ports w/ a linksys router?

Search for your router here : [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
You can find instructions there.

Make sure you grant the permissions to your IP, and that it didn't change. I always had this problem before because the computers at my home were all configurated to take an automatic IP. So sometimes, my mother took my ip and I couldn't host.

sounds funny :cool:
For a small home network never use DHCP, sure its easy to config but when you have less then 10 PCs in a routed Network use fixed IPs and let the router do the NATing.
