Socgreaser Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 So, before I start developing my game, I need a server. I followed a NO-IP tutorial, but when I turn on my server, the client will get stuck at Connected. Sending Login Information. I have a friend that will write the quests, but I need to be connected too. Any ideas of whats happening? Is there free hosting that will work with eclipse? My IP is dynamic.

abhi2011 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Also try making sure that skype is disabled/not running. (If ur using port 80) Skype uses port 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 If your router is dynamic, it will make it very hard to host a server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growlith1223 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Is the Router a netgear? if so, you can make it a static IP. not sure about the other ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kajamaz Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Try port 7001 instead of 80… idk just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socgreaser Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 > Is the Router a netgear? if so, you can make it a static IP. not sure about the other ones.Its not :/ I have to contact my internet provider so he can open access to the modem configuration. Is there any free/low cost hosts that would make it possible to run the server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cant configure your network now what makes you sure you will be able to configure a VPS? Is there a particular reason you are using port 80? You are not hosting a web server or an browser game change it to something else, you might have multiple things wrong. No-Ip isn't configured properly, your firewall is blocking everything it sees. AVG is blocking something.Did you try to trace rout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synergy Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 For NO-IP to work you need to make sure all of these things are correct:* You've portforwarded and have set the matching port in your server and clientside config.ini files.* NO-IP is set up correctly.* Your firewall isn't blocking NO-IP or your game/server.* Your antivirus isn't blocking anything.That should be it. If it doesn't work, you haven't done something in that list right. As was suggested, try using a different port than 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synergy Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Oh, they've obviously updated it since I last used it. That makes it even easier. Although you'd still need to make sure that the port of in the config.ini (client and server side) matches, and that port 80 is forwarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhi2011 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Nope port 80 will be forwarded by the client automatically. So the only thing remaning for us to do is to make sure that nothing is in the way(i.e no apps are using port80) And also to make sure that the server is listening on port 80.

Socgreaser Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Ok, I portfowarded Port 7500, changed my clients port to 7500 and the Server Port to 80, it registered my account, but now it says the server if offline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhi2011 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 if ur using the port 80 method u don't need to portforward. Portforwarding is for the server and not for the client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnPony Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Port 80 is used by web services, mainly for hosting a website.I wouldn't use that port, use another one; some sites are known to block people who have something running on that port.

Change your server port to 7500 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socgreaser Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Still. I let the D.U.C go through firewall, change the client port to 7500 and the server one too, what am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhi2011 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Which No-IP setting are u using? port 80 forward or the portforwarding method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socgreaser Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Port Redirect 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhi2011 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Then follow these steps. Install the D.U.C in the server side PC.Then load up the port redirect from the No-IP website.Then change the port for the server to 80\.Change the client port to whatever u put in No-IP website.Connect.
