Marsh Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 If you port forwarded you can no longer connect to your external ip address only your internal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenton Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Is an internal IP the one i connect to with out connecting to the internet and a external is what players use? Would you know how to solve this problem then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 are you sure your External IP hasnt changed? Check IPCHICKEN again, and make sure your client has that correct IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenton Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I'm sure i just copied it from ipchicken and server is offline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 which port are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenton Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I'm using 4000\. I have that set up for the client and server and i port forwarded with that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 sorry Alex… i went and ate lunch and then forgot about this :(Try going to this site. It will test your port 4000.https://www.grc.com/x/portprobe=4000If it says you are closed, then your port forwarding is not working corectly.

Lenton Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 Mine says "Stealth" and is green. What does this mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 aer you running a program like peerguardian… I acidently ran a test on port 4000 on my torrent box and got the same thing, and I have peerguardian on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenton Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I closed everything apart from MSN and it still came up with stealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 do you have a firewall enabled? maybe windows firewall?If your system is unprotected, without any personal firewall or NAT router, any ports showing as stealth are being blocked somewhere between your computer and the public Internet. This is probably being done by your ISP. Internet traffic directed to your computer at the stealth ports will be dropped before reaching your machine.try changing your port to 4001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenton Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 And this would mean changing the port in my router settings. Ok, i will give it a try. Also thanks for all the help you have been giving me so far, your really helpful. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Thanks… hopefully we can get you working.If 4001 doesnt work try using the port im using for torrenting... 55799 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenton Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 I have just tried using 4001 but it didn't work. Also the 55799 didn't work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Mines says stealth and my port forwarding is set up fine.You are using the ip 127.0.0.1 to connect to yourself right?. Becouse like i said you cant connect to your own External Ip address. Aka the one from ip chicken wont work if you have port forwarding set up properly.So when you play use 127.0.0.1 when other people play give them your ip chicken address.

Lenton Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Oh right i thought you could connect to your IP address! Wow this seemed a big problem to me but it worked all along.. Thanks for you help Marsh and you Gwen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 LOLI was unaware that you couldnt connect to your own external IP..Glad it actually was working for you! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
