Some routers also require you to add a firewall rule. You might want to check that.

i was just looking at stuff about that, would it be safe if i disable it?

som routers dont apply port forwarding unless u reset em ( manual ofc )

Better to just add a rule for that port to allow it. You can disable to test if it works. But then create a rule and re-enable the firewall.

ive reset it so many times, through the online page and physically doing it. i cant play cod with my friend because of this, really annoying.

u dont need to port forward cod to play it... its a firewall blocking then , either in windows or router , add the cod exe to exceptions in router/windows ( i personally think its just windows blocking it )

in game it says my nat is strict or moderate, tells me to forward ports 3074. ill try allowing it through my firewall now. i can connect to one friend but not the other.

yeah it says its a strict mode because the firewall blocks the connection? -.-

 

port forwarding is only required really when u host a server :v

 

i never had to portforward anything to play a game

i just checked, its allowed through my firewall... its usually moderate nat but says strict on zombies.

is it allowed on ur home network or only public? bcoz it can be set to only public and u connected to ur home network then it still aint allowed

[cheiften98]
