Godlord Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 "IP=localhost" in your config should be "216.201.246.66" for your friend.Yours faithfully Stephan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhosZuvo Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hey ive got hamatchi but how do i use it for my game?? and im stuck with portforwarding too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waseemk Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Um, use it to make a server and put that IP. The reason why I want to remove it is because everyone who plays has to have hamachiNow if you want more details make your own post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappy Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Okay, I'm sure I can help you. Almost positive.You most likely DON'T have a static IP address.What you need to do, is take that IP address in your command prompt, the one specifically titled "IP address"(192.168.1.123)I hope XP is nearly the same as Vista/7 in this department,Now, you need to go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Centre. Look for "Change adapter settings", it should be on the left area. You'll see a few connections, right click the one called "Local Area Connection 3". (This is because that's where we're getting your IP from earlier)After right-clicking, Go to Properties and in the middle box search for "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).Select it and hit the properties button below.We're nearing the end now ~!Instead of having 'Obtain IP address automatically" selected, select "Use the following IP address"Fill it out like so:IP Address: 192.168.1.123 (From earlier)Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1Also select "Use the following DNS server addresses" below that.You only NEED to fill in one, so fill it in with 192.168.0.1Hit OK and bam, you should be port forwarded Im HOPING. (if you did everything else correctly).This is a step I had no idea about until last year, which works perfectly for all my server hosting needs.Hope it helps ~(Just in case you weren't sure, you still have to use your external IP to allow your friends to connect(the IP chicken IP)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waseemk Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 And is there anything else I need to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappy Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 No, if you've done all this, and you still can't host a server from your IP, double check your firewall. That's the only other advice I can give you… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waseemk Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 I have a problem… When i do the settings you told me to, my internet does not work... So i have to take them off for it to work. So is there anything I can do to prevent this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waseemk Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 I think this is why my game is not working… is it? Does it matter if my computer is using a wifi router to connect. I have more devices using it and I noticed that they all have the same ip (the chicken one). Does this effect me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 what version of windows are you running?show a screen shot of your cmd prompt after you run ipconfig.show a screen shot of you windows firewall turned off.show a screen shot of your router again.show a screen shot of your data.inishow a screen shot of your client.inino all of your devices will have the same ipchicken ip. that is what port forwarding is for. It says that when traffic comes to the "ipchicken" address on this port forward the data to this local ip (192.168….) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waseemk Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 I don't know what the data.ini and client.ini is but i got the other photos. BTW my router changed but I put the port forward and static ip on it. I am running windows xp version 2002 professional service pack 3\. The photos are below.Btw I have a static IP (I used this program that does it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrison858 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Have you tried this with Hamachi disabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhi2011 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 @ Whoszuvo Use the Hatmchi I.P and the top of the client as IP. And keep hatmachi running the server is online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waseemk Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yes i tried this with hamachi disabled, but does it matter that my whole internet system is using a firewall (SONICwall)? Sorry, but I just recently found out. Is there any way to use hamachi without have everyone who owns the game to have it? What I mean is can I keep it open without the players having hamachi open? That's the reason I don't like hamachi. Sorry I didn't post for a while, accidently removed email notices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeminiXcasorm Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 before any of this you must have your pc directly connected to your modem! or at least that makes it easier -_- but as i was saying its diff for every modem type, some cant even handle forwarding that well :( sry but its true. i had to buy a new modem for forwarding issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
