How do I set up a Source Dedicated server with a router?

I have a netgear router with comcast, but cant start servers. :(

  1. Hello,

    First, you will need to determine which ports Comcast allows incoming traffic on. If this is a standard residential ISP account, they will most likely block incoming traffic on 80 (the standard http port). Therefore, you will need to choose another port to run your server on and configure you router to forward this port to you server. For example, if you choose port 8080, and forward this to your web server, you will need to access the server like this:

    http://IPADDRESS:8080

    Good Luck!
