How do you make server worldwide?

[Emosyos]

Hey,

I have been searching on how to make the eo server work on multiple networks as I can only get it working on one. I can't find any good tutorials that I can follow. If you know could you make a step-by-step tutorial on what to do to your router or whatever you've got to do.

Yours truly,

you need to host your server on a computer with static ip portforward the right port then change the ip in clients config.ini. If you dont have a static ip you can use www.no-ip.com

Um… I'm a little bit of a newb when it comes to ip things so is there a tutorial on this?

[Officer Johnson]

all you do is simply open up your config file and put your ip in beside were it say ip= if you dont know your ip look it up at ipchicken.com

then simply to let others play take all the files in client folder zip it up and set it up for them to download but remember the ip must be in the confi.ini

but for your computer keep the ip as local host or it will not open on your pc

best of luck hope this helps ~johnson

oh yes my bad

Ok, that's what i'm having problems with you see. The port forwarding is going completely over my head! Too many different settings and numbers!

[Growlith1223]

there's tutorials on youtube for portforwarding, there's even a site that has it too, it's just a matter of actually searching.

[Emosyos]

I have been searching for 2 days know and everything I've tried alot of different tutorials and none seem to be affecting anything.

What kind of ISP and router do you have?

Linksys running Tomato. Also Virgin.

if you have access through the router try port fowarding the port number you get from config.ini. You also need to get the ipv4 to forward it to. Bring up the cmd prompt by typing cmd in the start > search textbox. from there you type ipconfig and look for ipv4\. You cannot dual client using the ip from ipchicken.com or whatsmyip.com etc(thats for the other people who want to connect to your machine) instead you need to use the ipv4 ip if your running from another machine connected to the same server provider.

if you simply can't get to work, you're better off using that shitty hamachi lan connection.
