Are you using a router and/or proxy?

jareg · August 25th, 2004

Well i am sure i dont use a proxy but maybe a router

**I-Chan** · August 25th, 2004

well, a router is a device that does the job of a modem, plus can direct the traffic to specifical pcs on a network. If you have one, you'll surely now. Routers usually connect to pc's (or hubs) via lan cable, check if your modem is like that. If so, your router ir probably blocking the port used by your client, find out wich port is and configure your router to let traffic in and out.

Ok then i dont think i have a router because i dont have a modem i only have a wire that is in my back of my pc

So what to you call that connection

Sorry i am stupid when it comes to these things

ermmm you must have an internal winmodem then. Do you plug the telephone cord or a wider one? Just check if the cable connected has 4 copper connectors or 8. If it has 4 connectors it's a phone one and i'm out of ideas then, if it has 8, it's a lan cable and then there must be a router somewhere in your home

.

Its a wide cable that runs trough my apartment

And i think every apartment is connected to a one router or modem

So it is like a shared connection

So what to i need to too to get irc and java working properly

You've just answered your own question. I-chan already explained that you need to open the port on the router.

jareg · August 25th, 2004

I dont no how to open ports and find out wich port is blocking what

Anyone explain or a link would be fine

ok, time to locate data. First you need to know that google is your friend. You need to know wich brand and model is your router. Then, search google for the info on configuring it (i found that info for mine on google in les than 5 minutes, it's easy

). Then you'll probably be able to configure it to open every port, that would be the easier way for you. Alternatively, you'll have to find the ports your programs are using. Some will let you confiugre it, so just like in their configuration will reveal wich port are they using. For others, you'll have to rely again on google. Alternatively, start the programs and try to stablish a connection, open a console (Start->Run, type cmd and hit enter) and type nestat -a -n, and it will show wich ports the programs are using to send info. It will be under "local address", the number after the ":". So four example, you'd see "127.0.0.1:80", then the program would be trying to use that port. Hope this makes sense for you
