Hello lovely people,
I'm trying to use code that sets up port forwarding to a upnp router in a network so i can forward 3 ports. I'm doing this for a game freeley because people cannot host.
I have a VBScript code that can open the ports and talks just fine, but can i implement this into VB.NET?
If not can i call the script and get status information from it?
If not on that front can i write code in VB.NET that would talk to the UPNP router or atleast tell windows to open ports thats all i want.
Secondly, thankyou for donating your spare time to help beginners out
c ya

VB.NET:
'This program enables an IRC file transfer port
'And then puts up a prompt waiting for the user
'to be finished transferring files
Set theNatter = CreateObject( "HNetCfg.NATUPnP")
Dim mappingPorts
Set mappingPorts = theNatter.StaticPortMappingCollection
'We add a new port saying that externally accept from port 1024
'route to internal port 1024 on computer with IP 192.168.1.101
'Enabling the forward, and giving a name of the forward to be IRC
mappingPorts.Add 18010, "TCP", 18010, "192.168.1.101", TRUE, "Worms"
'
MsgBox("Total number of ports after add is " & mappingPorts.Count & ". Hit OK when you're done transfering")
'To uniquely specify a forward, you give the external port
'and the protocol - here we remove the forward that we added
mappingPorts.Remove 18010, "TCP"
MsgBox("We're done and the total number of ports is " & mappingPorts.Count)Secondly, thankyou for donating your spare time to help beginners out
