First off, to answer your PM, this is a web forum, not a 24/7 tech support service...

Next, did you make sure the ports are forwarded to your laptop's hostname or LAN IP?
<Nach> so why don't the two of you get your own room and leave us alone with this stupidity of yours?

I was just afraid my topic would never get answered if i didn't let you know about it.. I'm not to good with ports. I haven't been able to get on my router latelly. And i didn't know ports needed to be set for both Desktop Computer and Portable Computer.

Yep, they do. one of the very first painful lessons I learned about Broadband... within the same week I first got it so long ago...

Since the instructions vary based on make/model you may wanna RTFM for this one or Google.

Finally found the book for my router. Entered the url, went on my router and allowed all programs to work on my laptop. I can finally play emulators on my laptop. So if annyone is interrested in playing some games, just pm me.
