Zetasis Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 I was wondering how hosting works if I were to not port forward. I have seen something about Hamachi but I'm not sure how safe that is or how easy. I used to run a MUD* awhile back and all you really had to do was load the files on to the server using FTP, then set the port, and give everyone the port and IP and they could connect. Is hosting Eclipse anything like that? And what kind of Server would I need exactly to host Eclipse? The Servers I used for MUD*s was meant specifically for MUD*s and I'm sure there are not, or very few, Eclipse based Servers. Thanks alot, I appreciate the help.

manbearpig Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 hamachi is safe i recommend just port fowarding manually or you can use no-ip.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symphonia117 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 To Host eclipse I would highly recommend that you just port forward. If you don't want to give your ip address out then I recommend just getting a DNS.If you need any Help then click the port forward help link in my sig ;)~symph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetasis Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hmm, No-ip.com seems nice. So if I were to use No-ip.com would the IP to connect to my game have to be http://whatever.no-ip.com/Â instead of an actual ip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

symphonia117 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 but you'd still need to port forward otherwise it wont work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Refuge Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 @riokoshin:> Okay so with no-ip.com I will need to port forward but with hamachi I don't.Yes, but 1) your players will need to download Hamachi and 2) Hamachi can only support a certain amount of connections (eg, 20).
