You can also try turning on upnp if you don't know or are unable to portforward your router.

 

Good tutorial, but a lot of routers are different however. portforward.com has tuts for pretty much every build of router. It's pretty helpful, esp if you have an AT&T router with a retarded UI.

you have a solution for a retarded room m8? he swapped the password a while back and now he has no clue what it is x(

Reset the router to factory settings. This is usually done by a button on the back of the router. With older routers this requires a toothpick or a needle usually, because the button is so small.

Best.

Guide.

Ever!

Decent guide

Please make sure you do not have Java 8. If you have java 8(incompatible with OSBot) then please uninstall it and re-install java 7 update 55.

If the error still persists after this time feel free to post back or send me a pm ^_^

Is it because of my crappy windows 8 computer? I have uninstalled and re-installed java 7 u55 and its still doing it. I just don't know what I did to make it not work...

So many guides on this but none of them explain what you do if your ports continuously close after you open them. Also this doesn't work on every single router, Actually not even half of them. Also Also, Some people don't have routers and can only use there modems which this won't work for.

Hello, first time user here. I'm on a wireless laptop, but the second red arrow was blank for me, and the top one wasn't in the form of an ip (192.01.123 Just an example) I used the top one assuming that it wouldn't make a difference, followed your guidelines to a T, and still I get the Error: The server failed to handle your request. Any idea's on what the problem, and more importantly the solution could be?

For whatever reason it's decided to work! Guess the guide was good afterall

Great guide. Another alternative is to purchase a premium VPN subscription which offers port forwarding facilities. A good example is nVPN.net, they also have a port scanner software to check if you've opened ports correctly.
