well as i mentioned i have set up and set up and set up my router 100x over with different options you have mentioned asd well as optins comcast and even local ip fixit places here in town. everything you mentioned,everything they mentioned,etc have failed 100% i can only get on it every few hours or so except the java chat on a site called gogloom. when i get on MIRC with that,almost 100% of the time it lets me in. but no one can access my fserve however. I just don't know what to do. everything you said though i have tried. If you had MSN or Paltalk or something we could chat one on one. then maybe we could figure out what the problem is,but i really have tried. it makes me want to bang my head on the table.
