Exclamation How to fix pinging on a server

Guide: How to fix pinging on your server (using UPnP)

Setting up UPnP is easy and fast on most computers.
Windows XP
1. Go to control panel -> Add or remove hardware -> Add or remove Windows components
2. Double-click 'Networking Services'
3. Check 'UPnP User interface'
4. Press OK
5. Go to start -> run
6. Type 'services.msc' (without '') and press enter
7. Scroll down to 'SSDP discovery service'
8. Double click on it, make sure it is started and set to automatic (it starts with Windows)
9. Close services.msc
10. Go to My computer -> My network places
11. Click 'Show icons for networked UPnP devices' (Windows might ask about firewall ports, open everything)
12. Your router should appear on the list. If not, try waiting 20 minutes or restart your computer. If your router doesn't appear on the list after this, your router doesn't support UPnP.

Windows Vista and 7
UPnP is called 'Network discovery' in Vista.
1. Go to Control panel -> Network and internet -> Network sharing center
1.5, Windows 7 users only Press 'Change advanced sharing settings'
2. Press the arrow next to 'Network discovery'
3. Press 'Turn on network discovery' and then click Apply. Admin rights are needed.

Now choose what software you want to use for the port forwarding.
THIS is a pack of two command-line utilities that I use. Just run Add10052TCPandUDP.bat or AddJJ2.bat. The file is actually a .zip file, rename the extension to get it working.


Admins, if I didn't write this to the correct section, please move it
