Does somebody have the possibility to offer the ZIP/RAR of Version 5 or 6?

We still have Problems with the creation of some of the needed DBs @ V7 & 8 and I would like to create the tables with an older version / setting. Unfortunately I do not have the older versions anymore

To make port forwarding work, you have to do 2 things:

(1) know what your private and public IP addresses are
and
(2) open the proper port on your firewall, and forward it to the right private IP.

Finding out what your Private Ip is:
1. Go to start/run and type 'cmd' and press enter
2. This brings up a dos box
3. type IP config
4. You will get back some data, check the "IP ADDRESS" listed and write it down. This is your private, or NAT'd, IP address. It will probably be 192.168.x.x (where the X's are some numbers; not sure what the DLINK uses as its private IP range).

Finding out what your public IP address is:
1. Go to http://www.whatismyip.com
2. Write down the IP address it shows there...this will be different than your private IP

NOTE: you can also find this information out by looking at the status section inside the DLINK's web interface, but I am not 100% sure where that information is w/the DLINK unit, and the above URL works just as well.

Opening the proper port
I am not familiar w/the DLINK router but it works the same as a Linksys Im sure
1. Go to the web interface on your dlink router and log in
2. Go to the port forwarding section and make an entry to send port 5121 to whatever your private IP address is
3. I usually choose BOTH when it asks whether its TCP or UDP
4. Be sure to APPLY or SAVE your changes
5. Tell your players to connect to your PUBLIC ip address using the default port of 5121 and your DLINK should route all NWN client traffic right to your NWN Server.

NOTE: Its possible that both your public ip and private ip address might change over time. Its always good before playing to sanity check both, and adjust your port forwarding as appropriate. Its also good practice when you are done to go into the DLINK web interface and deactivate the port forwarding rule until you need it again. Always best to keep everything locked down whenever possible.

Hope this helps.

I have ADSL, and the best I've ever seen was 13ms. 40 is about my average, so 60 isn't that far off base. Unlesss both our ISP's are jacking us, hehe.
