SawQuart Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Ok, so I did the portforwarding thing from all the tuts. Each time it didnt work. Then I tried Hemachi. The server IP was my Internal IP and NOT the Hemachi IP like it was suppost to be. When I opened the client and put in the Hemachi IP, it worked and granted me access. Can anybody else access the files and play on my game online? Or do I have to portforward again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 ok, go into your web browser, delete what ever is in the address bar, type in your local I.P. Address (192.168.1.1) from there, configure the settings at the tab named "Gaming" or something similar. you will need to enter the name of the program, which is Eclipse, and then enter your IP and Port ranges for access (4000 - 4001) then save, exit, enter your IP address and port in your game, and test it to see if it works.

Gwen Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 first of all you need to make your server have a static lan ip.Do you know what your current lan address is? Do you have other computers hooked up to your router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 you arent supposed to put the URL of ipchicken.com, you're supposed to go to the site, get your IP address and put it in your IP config in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Refuge Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Go to "Start" -> "Run" type in "CMD".Then, type "ipconfig", hit enter.It will display your default gateway, ip, etc….The IP you put into your **router** to port-forward, will be the ip in the ipconfig; the ip that you will put into your client, will be the ipchicken one.Find your router here, and try one of these tutorials: http://www.portforward.com/english/applications/port_forwarding/Eclipse/Eclipseindex.htmEDIT: It will not matter if you're using a wireless network or not; though, I'm not sure how good it will be for your players, to try to use a server that's running on a laptop though a wireless network; may get lag.

Gwen Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 OK saw.. your laptop is connected wirelessly to the same router right? you are not "stealing" wireless from your neighbor are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawQuart Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Uhhh…. All I know is that there is a router in my basement that sends out a very weak signal. Then there is another machein down there that is called "Arris" or something. The Arris sends out another signal that is named after my dad. The router and the Arris (i think) are connected (Im not completely sure). Also, there are things plugged into the wall that recieve the signals from the Arris and increase them. Also I know that our old PC used to connect physically to the router. Thats all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
