xppxdd Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hi :)So im trying to publish my game for some friends, i did everything right, changed the configs open a DMZ in my router ETC…still, no one can login or register.. "the server is down".my theory is that the server is running on the router LAN (or how its called) which is only available to the computers that connected to him.in the server form the title the IP shows the 192.168.2.X which is my router address(X=the number that the router gave to my comp)any suggestion? :OTThanksBTW: I dont have problem runing a minecraft or others games server :Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displaced Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 If you had done everything right, it would probably work, right?So make sure the routes are correct.your router ext ip : 7001 -> your lan ip : 7001If so, make sure your router supports that function. There are some routers which "have" this feature but it's deactivated… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xppxdd Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 and if mine doesnt have? is there any other way ?:) how do i make it run on my Hamachi for example.also, how does that function called? (ext ip to lan ip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displaced Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 port forwarding..you have to forward every external connection on port 7001 to your lan ip on port 7001..Hamachi works almost the same way.You must have set your firewall for hamachi and eclipse and use the hamachi ip.

Annahstas Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 If it is running on Hamachi, why did you not just port the old fashion way?Also it could be your firewall. I couldn't even fix it so I had someone else help me with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xppxdd Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 WTF 0.0 the IP on the title now changed to something else i think is my DNS but i dont know 0.0its stating with 63 end with 2 sound familiare??(I dunna)firewall is off :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annahstas Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 We don't need to know your ip. OK just check the questions:1\. Did you use 7001 0r 4000 port?2\. Did you go to portforward.com and port your router correctly?3\. Did you get the correct ip from ipchicken.com or whats my ip on Google search?4\. Did you put your correct ip in the .config notepad file?5\. If you changed your port did you do it in the server file as well?6\. Is your fire wall open? <–- (I had to get someone to help me with this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure the IP's and ports are the same in both the server and client folder. Go to http://www.ipchicken.com and get your IP and save it in a notepad file. Go to 192.168.1.1 to log into your router. Go to ports and add an exception for whatever your port is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD@stevendee96, i did what you said, not working :(–--ive made a server state checker with PHP and its said that in the IP from the config and the Port from config is online... so WTF :Othe IP in the title of the server.exe isnt the ext IP ...

Baron Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 xppxd1) obtain your local IP address (not your router address, as this is different again)2) obtain your WAN IP address (this is the one that www.whatismyip.com can give you)3) find your router model and make (brand name)4) go to http://portforward.com and click the link from the list that is your routers model and make5) it will show you an ad for an automatic tool. ignore it and click the top right link on the page to skip it6) at the end of the top paragraph on the page that opens, you will see a link for a default guide. choose this.7) FOLLOW THE GUIDE.8) the general idea is traffic rocking up at your WAN (world) address gets forwarded from your ISP to your router, and your router then forwards it to your computer hosting the server. You only need the single port the game server is listening on to be forwarded. I recommend 8087.9) now comes the fun bit, if people still can't connect to you, you most likely have firewall issues. Windows defender + firewall combo are bastards like this. You can change their settings to add an exception for inbound traffic on your port in your control panel.That should sort out any issues. Try it and let me know how you go.If you're still having issues and have two computers, try to connect across the LAN to the other computer, this will determine if it is a firewall or a router issue.

Ruins of Hell Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 @quintensky:> dude bad idea, i tried it, and it works, as long as you dont shut your pc down……how about you just start it up when you start up the server?To clarify: yes, this is how UPnP works, and no, there is nothing to be done about it.
