Nobody can connect apart from me (ptokax hub)

[Bean]

I have run a hub for a long time using different software and have now been running a ptokax hub for a good while (6months+) with the robocop script.

However !! I think it is since putting my laptop on my network no one can connect to the hub, I am running ZA pro FW and it seems to be letting the hub through (show as active) i am running the hub with no-ip.org although even with a direct ip people still cant connect. Also tried with FW off and same results.
I have reinstalled software turned all scripts off etc and am now left scratching my head, anything i can try that i might of overlooked ?

Well? are you behind a router? Do your forward ports, TCP in this case between the machine that has the connection to the internet (a router, another machine, it depends on how your network is built up) and the machine you run the hub on.

You need to more explictly describe your network-configuration for us to help you.

Ok simple network..Crossover cable to laptop.
The main box with dsl modem is running the hub.
