joshmarsilio Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 I have never been able to start my own room/server. My internet is xfinity hotspot, which i log into through a web browser, i have no modem or router of my own, and i am probably "piggybacking" off of someone else's equiptment which i have no access to. I have tried turning my firewall off completely and making up random 5 digit numbers for a port, but these things do not work. Is it even possible for me to host my own server while using this "hot spot" internet??? By the way i have read about "opening ports" and i either don't understand how to do this or i need access to my router which i have non of.
cascadia Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Yes, you will need access to the router to open ports. If you have $20 or so to spare a month, you can rent a game server to get around this.
joshmarsilio Posted July 18, 2016 Author Posted July 18, 2016 i have never heard of renting a game server, could you explain?

YoloSweggLord Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) You need to have your own router in order to forward your port. You could rent a game router, but a normal router would work just as well. I suggest you consider changing your internet plan to something that gives you your own router and equipment if you want to host servers. Edited August 1, 2016 by YoloSweggLord
