PLEASE HELP ME (port forwarding)
SO ive finally made headway with the update. everything is up to date. now im in Xfinity Admin Tool adding ports, but when im prompted for an ip address all i can think of is 10.0.0.1, what is the ip address i need to get to or put in?

Valethar✭✭✭✭I'm guessing you're doing port forwarding? Look in the router for the DHCP client table or something similar. Somewhere in there should be a listing of all devices currently connected to the router. Each will have it's own IP address. The one that corresponds to your computer is the one you need to use.
There's no way for any of us to know what that is, though some folks could probably give some educated guesses to narrow it down.Edited by Valethar on April 25, 2014 2:48AMResistance is not futile! Say no to the Greed Collective™. Boycott Crown Crates.0 -

Valethar✭✭✭✭Nothing in there that looks like 192.168.x.x instead? With a list of device names after each address?
This may help give you an idea of what to look for.

It will look different, depending on the make and model of the router, of course.Edited by Valethar on April 25, 2014 3:01AMResistance is not futile! Say no to the Greed Collective™. Boycott Crown Crates.0 -
Saerydoth✭✭✭✭Port forwarding is completely unnecessary, it will not help at all with lag. In fact, it won't actually do anything. Hopefully you just got the terminology wrong and meant QoS instead of port forwarding. Port forwarding is needed when you want to host a server on a machine you own, behind NAT.0 -
