Help with ports

Super Six Two · 04-14-2010, 08:29 PM

I have tried to look through everything to see if someone had answered this already but I have been unable to find anything.

I had been running a server on my Windows 7 PC and it was working just fine but I decided to move the server to my Windows Server 2003 box that I just setup. I changed the port forwarding in the router to the new address but users can still not connect. Windows Firewall is off, there is no third party firewall installed yet. I can not figure out what is blocking the connection. Its a fresh install of the OS with no third party software in the way and I don't think my router is the problem since it worked on my other PC.

Any ideas?

can you connect a local client to the server?
