• Need help fowarding a port
    2 replies, posted
So I have Gang Garrison 2 and I need to forward the port 8190. The problem is, I want to be able to play it on my other computer too. So I added another entry except changed the IP to 192.168.101 instead of 192.168.100. Those are the correct IPs but when I try to save the entry it gives me a port overlap error. Lemme try to put that in better words. Computer A has port 8190 forwarded Computer B needs port 8190 forwarded When I try to forward 8190 for computer B it gives me an error I have a Linksys G router Any help would be appreciated.

What it means is that, the IP you assign it to will have all ports open to the internet. It is a security risk, although i don't feel it'll be that big of a deal if you only have it set when you play that game. Basically all you need to do in most cases is set the IP address of the DMZ to 192.168.101. Which should be found on the routers setting page.
Do you have a little tick box next to it for enabling the forward? If an outside IP requests 8190, then it would go for the computer assigned to it. If you have 2 for the same port, then it wouldn't know which computer to go to.
