Port problem

[Guest]

I'm using ADSL and I have an External IP and one internal IP. I have no router. I'm running some games that required port 6112 to be open.

Because of this ( I suspect port 6112 was blocked), I can't host games online.

Can anyone tell me what to do?

Thanks in advance.

Please see this Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

If you're using a different firewall program, check that program's
Help file.

Hi -

If you're not blocking port 6112 then someone upstream is
blocking it. I suggest you check your Internet
Connection Firewall settings - and if that's not the
problem, contact your ISP.

Hope this helps -
