 Pojo @clearwire-wmx.net | [Troubleshooting] Does Clear's wireless modem NAT? TLDR version: Is Clear's wireless modem also a router? So, if I have the modem connected to a router, which is then connected to my computer, am I double NATted?
Long (and thorough) version: I made a networked game in Java using Sockets. Right now though, it only works through my LAN, when both the client and server are running on my computer. What I want to do is set it up so that I can run the server on my computer, and anyone who has the client code can connect to it and play via the internet. But, I can't for the life of me figure out how to set up my network. I have a wireless Clear modem which is connected to a Netgear router, which is connected to 2 computers in my home. As far as I know, I need to set up port forwarding, or something...? I've logged into both my modem and my router's configuration pages and looked at any possible settings I could find that contain the word "port". MAYBE somewhere along the way I've done something right, but it didn't work anyway because the modem is also acting as a router? Can somebody please tell me how to set this up?  |
