Jiaman Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Brief: I need to be able to get my server public. I need a way to get it public and but I've tried to look for solutions but I can't seem to find any.Additional information:I do NOT need it running 24/7.I have a dynamic IP.My router is 'ZyXEL P-660HN-F1Z.I HAVE portforwarded before using a linkys router. (I changed my broadband provider as well as it the router. I am currently on a contract so I can't change it back :(.)Problem:I've have tried several ways to get my server online, Portforwarding, using Utorrent.. and the UPnP (It says that my UPnP may have been disabled or not functioning properly) program. The only program that did work was hamachi but everytime my client installs it, his computer crashes and then it requires a setback.Any solutions? - Sorry If I have posted in the wrong forum but I don't know where else I could put it.Thanks,Jiaman :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 What's your ISP currently? Is the IP it gives you relatively static or does it change often? So you're saying your new router doesn't work? If you've recently changed ISPs then you might be screwed if the router they provided is limited.

Gimulex Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Try downloading LogmeIn Hamachi. It is a temporary IP that does not require port forwarding, but you need to have that on and the players need to add you for it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruins of Hell Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Don't even suggest Hamachi. It's terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunku Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 @Soul:> Don't even suggest Hamachi. It's terrible.Soul honestly hamachi is easy if you don't wanna learn how to port forward.Also my game works on other computers and I'm using hamachi so Gimulex is right if Jiaman doesn't want to learn how to port forward.

Ruins of Hell Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hamachi is a third-party service and it limits your speed and players. Only a certain amount of people can connect to Hamachi at once, and it's slower. It doesn't work with the Eclipse Status Checker. It's terrible. If you can't understand portforwarding, it's not something we made up. It's possible to portforward with EVERY router out there. Just because you're too lazy to do it doesn't mean every one of your game players should install Hamachi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Here is how to portforward with your router.http://www.pcwintech.com/port-forwading-zyxel-p-660hn-f1z-zyxel-firmwaremake sure you are using the correct port that you have configured with eclipse. EO's port is defaulted to 7001 i believe. Make sure you make your server have a static local IP (192.168.1.XXX) or whatever your router assigns, and then in your router forward 7001 to that local ip. Start eclipse and leave it on.on your client make sure it is set for the same port. Put in your WAN IP and that should be it.Oh one other thing… i dont know if Robin changed it in EO, but if you are running your client on the same machine as your server you have to use localhost or 127.0.0.1 as the server ip in your client. You were not able to connect using your WAN IP locally in the older version of eclipse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiaman Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 I know how to port forward.. I HAVE port forwarded but when I check it sometimes say offline..I have windows 7 and I'm sure I've port forwarded through the firewall aswell so I still can't seem to find the solution.

Gwen Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 did you check your router to see if you have UPnP disabled?did you verify the settings that i pointed out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiaman Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 @Gwen:> did you check your router to see if you have UPnP disabled?> > did you verify the settings that i pointed out?I've got it enabled but … it says:Note :For UPnP to function normally, the HTTP service must be available for LAN computers using UPnPSo what is that suppose to mean?
