Nimbus Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 I have followed Robin's guide over and over on how to get people to connect to my game. I have also changed my router settings to allow the port 7001 on UDP and TCP. My ip address reads the same in /cmd and on the website http://www.ipchicken.com/ (also reads the same in my network properties under local area connection). I have made sure the IP is correct in the config.ini file in the data files folder. I have even tried using no-ip.org and configured the host on there and still after all this I can't get my friend to connect to my server.Any advice?~Nimbus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 world ip from ipchicken.com is what you give to others to connect with.the local ip you get from /cmd and network properties is what your router port forwards inbound traffic to using port forwarding.make sure there is no confusion between these two.

My ip from the website and ip in /cmd are the exact same number. And also I can run my server and use the site http://canyouseeme.org/ to check port 7001 and it says its open. It also creates a connection with my server for only a moment and that shows up under the server console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it very hard to believe that your local ip is identical to your world IP. This is where your issue is I would be guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Ok so we're definitely talking to thge right addresses then, especially if your server shows a connection from the open port checking tool.Here onwards it gets harder to debug though.Check there are no active firewalls terminating uninvnited connections to that port and program.Check your router doesn't have security options preventing connections to the port range you're using.
