Behind NAT

[Gorm 0]

I'm trying to set up a Hotline server but my ISP is using some NAT-Router so people can't connect to me by using my public ip. Is there a way to get around this by using som software like Dns2go(doesn't seem to work)?

Some ISPs block certain ports. A local one around here is blocking port 80 to stop web servers. Try setting your web server to use another port. Also try some other services, like ftp to see if others can connect to them. That may show if it is a port blocking issue. I would not recommend pop as that port gets blocked by many ISPs also.

you need to to setup up port forwarding on the nat router

have port 80 or whatever forward to you computers private ip

you can use dns2go because it will direct your users to the nat routers public ip

so as long as you forward the ports you need to the private ip of the computer you want to use you should be all set
