Need computer help

[JET]

I know we have a few computer guru's on here. I am having an issue with trying to host a game. The game runs in java and one person hosts, while others play off their computer, through another server.

I went through, did the port forwarding thing for my router and that seems to work ok, but I end up getting errors about every 15 minutes. The port it uses is 3300 and when I use their checker is says this port is NOT open. I have done tons of research and tried a ton of things, but to no avail. I am running windows XP. I am sure there is just a setting somewhere that needs to be changed, I turned the firewall off in windows also. I have also asigned a permanent IP address to my computer and the port forwarding goes to it.

When I first started I couldn't host at all, but now it works good for 15-30 minutes, then I get the error. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone had a fix for it! Thanks.

What game is this?

[JET]

The game is called TripleA. It is based off the board game Axis and Allies (hence triple A). It is a more complicated version of Risk and a WWII simulation. It is freaking awesome and free to everyone! I used to play Axis and Allies board game when I was a teenager and just stumbled across this a few months ago. If you like strategy games, you will love this!

You could try putting your computer in the DMZ during game play and or to see if it is a firewall/NAT issue.

I have DMZ turned on in the router, is there anything I have to do to the computer? I have all the firewalls turned off for troubleshooting.

I fuck'n love A&A! We have two of the board games here.

Dude, go download that game then! It is a direct copy of the board game. Games only take 2-3 hours to play instead of 10+!
