Static IP address trouble

[Bandini]

Hi
Trying to open the ports for Guild Wars. My router is old and crap and getting a new one next week, but I don't think that is he problem:

When I go to ipconfig /all, my IP address and defalt gateway are 10.0.0.3
and 10.0.0.2 respectively. My mask is 255.0.0.0 ( I hope I can post this info safely - not very technical!). The first two do not seem similar to all the examples on line, but I carried on regardless and entered them into the TCP IP Properties along with the DNS servers (212.50.160.100 and 213.249.153.100).

I then used this info to get a static IP using portforward.com

I then entered the details into my router as directed to port forward- again I put Host IP as 10.0.0.3.

When I did a port scan the port was still closed.

The numbers don't seem right to me, but I am at a loss as to what to do.

Any help gratefully received.

Thats safe to post as that info is only for own network.

What router are you using?

What router are you using?

I am using an Origo AWR-8210. As I say I have a better one ordered, but I could do with some R & R this weekend and would really like to get this one sorted!

Ok first thing you need to do is set up a static ip address properly from here http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm and then set up your router from here
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Origo/AWR-8210/Guild_Wars.htm
There is a simple guide to opening ports for your router.
Your ip address is 10.0.0.3  and your router address is 10.0.0.2,however I think that your mask should be 255.255.255.0 as set up in Windows Tcip properties.
 When setting up the router make sure you open port 80 and 6112.
1 more tip " make sure that xp firewall is not on, hope this helps.

No it should be 255.0.0.0 for the 10.0.0.0/8 ip range.

This must be specific to the Origo model then as my Etec is working great on 255.255.255.0 and my ip is 10.0.0.2, I thought that they were the same chips.

Yes the net mask 255.255.255.0 will work with that ip range too.
