Forum :: Programming :: Easy Server Portforwarding

ethanmoffat posted: (30th Jul 2011 12:54 am)

So if you need uPnp to use this...doesn't it do the same thing that uPnp does? I'm confused.

Lol, no UPNP is a setting for your router. Meaning ''Universal Plug And Play''. They are a set of networking protocols that allow a program to "discover" devices. The library i used was built in with .NET framework. All you need is .NET framework and to click the button and it automaticly portforwards it.

Just looked it up on wikipedia. I thought the point of uPnp was to provide a way through your router's firewall without port forwarding, my mistake!

Lol its ok :D im working on a version 2 that allows you to add a port mapping just like how you do it in the router. Of course without having to provide your local machine ip and etc.

omg wild, this is incredibly awesome, this will save so much time, and it will stop all the annoying portforwarding topics <333

Holy fuck, I fucking love you. I didn't know the password, because my older brother doesn't trust me, but when i clicked on portforward, my server showed up.

I owe you a big one.

I feel like a newb by asking this, but I keep getting this error when I open it and click the portforward button: 

I have installed the newest .net framework, so I don't seem to know what the problem is.

---
Yep.

Click Details so i can see the error XD

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

For example:

<configuration>

    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Yep.

Wtf.... I have no clue. This error is showing that and object is not instanced? hold...

It has the same error with both of them. I've re-downloaded it and tried 50 times...

I'll try saving it to my desktop.

Edit: Still won't work. >.<

---
Yep.

Give it file permissions, also what version are you using?

Oh your using V1
