Hey, I read Monk's guide did everything in it seemed to work great! then after two days of hosting and having a blast i can no longer host and i did nothing to my router since. I checked my router and everything was configured correctly i just don't understand whats the problem now?

Your PC's IP is probably being assigned using DHCP which means it can (and from the sounds of it probably) has changed. Please verify your IP and then make the correction in your router's "port forwarding" section.

thanks,

Hey I figured out a different way to fix the problem and just letting people know who may also have the same problem was I just reset my router *holding down the reset button for 10 seconds* then went back in redid everything was quick and simple but i'll check for my IP next thanks :)

When you "reset" your router, it would have also reset the router's internal DCHP server (which assigns IP addresses on your network) thereby giving you back the original IP you had forwarded to. Either way obviously works..... :)

The easiest thing to do would probably set up a static IP.
