Friend can't connect if not at my house…?

[Soltira]

So yeah, as you can tell by my insanely long time of a forum post. My friends were all over and we were just messing around in the game, but when they had to go… They could no longer connect! I tried with my brother who is here at the house, and he was able to connect. But my friends who are only BARELY down the street, are not able to connect. It says that the server is down for them. What could be causing this?

You need to forward your ports. There are tutorials for this in the tutorial section. They can access the game at your house because of your LAN network.

I did forward my ports… It took forever...

What is the IP they're using to connect?

[VoidKnight]

Hello, I am one of his testers. I can't say whether or not he forwarded the ports correctly but we are, in fact, on different IP addresses.

If **it works**: Make sure that the config.ini for your testers is your public IP (the one you put into the checker above).

If **it doesn't work:** You have not portforwarded right.

In your homenetwork you must use 192.168.1.** <–- or localhost
else it wont work with an router....

Annnnd it didn't work. Looks like I'm gonna have to check out Robin's guide again. Thanks for the link.

I just tried forwarding my ports again, this time clicking 'Eclipse' cause I thought that would be for something else before. Clicked that link again, and still I guess I did it wrong… Now, I just have no idea at all what to do.

see if my old guide will work for you. its for eclipse 2.7 but it should work for origins. Just know that when i say server.ini, go to your options.ini instead.

It starts off with how to install eclipse 2.7, but i do get into a little bit of portforwarding in the middle.

Thank you so much Lilith! But now… Well... I'm getting the Run-Time Error 9 x_x It was working before I did all this! I'm thinking I changed something :/ I just changed all the things to where it should have been before pretty much. I then tried to reset the server and test the new thing with the link that was provided by Soul, but when I tried to turn the server back on... I got the Run-Time Error 9 message! I have nooo idea what happened D: I tried searching for solutions in the forums, but they all said something about the game was not installed correctly lol... I know the game is installed correctly cause I was just playing it a minute ago! :(

Post your options.ini here.

Game_Name=Adventures of Enoka

I am guessing that is what your talking about since it was the only thing I could find labeled 'Options'
