Ok, i can't upload files at home, and i'm rpetty positive its to do with router configuration.


This may be a stupid question, but are there specific ports for uploading files?? or does it vary depending on where you're uploading to??? :?

depends - a lot of sites use HTTP uploads/downloads on port 80, FTP runs on 21 usually.

Your router should allow all traffic out by default - have you got a sw firewall too?

i think the way my ISP has it defaulted, it doesnt :roll:

i can download fine, but cant upload or host any custom game servers.
Only have windows firewall.
Windows firewall is set up properly, and even turning everything off doesnt change anything, so it has to be the router.


I want try change my NAT settings see if that works, but i dont know what ports to forward.
