Guest Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 so my server went down aparently. i have port forward, and it all checks out ok, ports open, packets sends, ping is good. but heres the thing.it worked just fine for months now up untill now. all of a sudden its saying the server is down when i try to connect. but alas the computer its on is running it, and the ports say they are open with port checker. grrr. what happened? i seriously didnt change anything and now cant seem to connect.i realize its not really related to eclipse, but im stumped. so any advice input would be great.

Guest Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 nope ip is the same. and when i put em both on 1 computer and set it to local host it works again.no idea why it worked last night and not today. no changes to source, no change in ip either. tried multiple restarts, refresh ip, change from static to dynamic and back ect.

BabyJesus95 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 My local IP changes all the time, this is what I do.Go to the Start MenuType in RunType CMD in RunType Ipconfig in the CMD PromptIt should come up with something like this,Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : hsd1.nh.comcast.net.Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::4896:de0a:2f81:1b21%12IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.**102**Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.128Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1Set the last three numbers that are in bold, to your port.Should work..

beckymegan Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Make that the port and ip address are typed in correctly in your config.ini file. You can find it under data in your client folder. Hope it starts working soon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 well ive double checked it triple checked it, i even swapped out routers even tho i have open ports. and another thing is, i dont have the ip and port in the ini file anymore, they were moved into the source, and it was working before..now ive tried editing it back into the ini file, and back in the source again. im posting from work, were i dont have access to the project. be home later.****home nowafter a bit more messing with it, i think im just gonna reformat the server computer. i dont need apache and all that crap anymore so yea.

Kool_dude4ever Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 It may be your Firewall, it might be blocking incoming connections..Try to allow the program in firewall, or disable the firewall while your server is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
