Bilbo Skywalker Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 give them your IP you can get it at http://www.whatismyip.com and assuming you are using the default port of 29070 then in the console they should write connect YOUR-IP:29070 they should be able to connect you should all get all-seeing eye too http://www.udpsoft.com/eye they should be able to see your server their too.

Bilbo Skywalker Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 did they try using connect YOUR-IP:29070 ? if so, then do yo uhave a firewall running? if you do then turn it off first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarmyBam Posted November 16, 2003 Author Share Posted November 16, 2003 yeah, i will try that, but how come some ppl, can actually connect while others can't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Skywalker Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 and they all definately have tyhe latest patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarmyBam Posted November 16, 2003 Author Share Posted November 16, 2003 yep, we have all been on the same server before (not mine though) so they must have the latest patch EDIT: HOw can i tell what port i am using? EDIT2: This is what the MP Console displayes when i run it.. so i take it i am using the 29070 port- --- Common Initialization Complete --- Winsock Initialized Opening IP socket: localhost:29070 Hostname: luke IP: 192.168.0.238 execing kazJA execing jediMaps.cfg ------ Server Initialization ------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Skywalker Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 yeh it is using that port, so tell your friends to type connect 192.168.0.238:29070 they should be able to connect by that method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarmyBam Posted November 16, 2003 Author Share Posted November 16, 2003 I've got them to do that, but now they get stuck at the awaiting conection screen This is really annoying!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IP addresses in the 192.168.x.x range are for use on a local area network (LAN) only, and are not visible on The Internet As Bilbo suggested, go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ to determine your real IP address, then have your friends use that. Also try running your server "unpure" (sv_pure 0) and remove any third-party maps or skins from your GameData\Base folder until you get things sorted out.

BarmyBam Posted November 17, 2003 Author Share Posted November 17, 2003 I've done all of that. I have tried to connect to my own server using my Internet IP and even i get stuck at my awating connection screen if my server seems to be regsitering with the main servers i.e: Sending heartbeat to masterjk3.ravensoft.com Sending heartbeat to clanservers.net Sending heartbeat to masterjk3.ravensoft.com Sending heartbeat to clanservers.net ... why can't anyone conect?

Achilles87 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Which is the main computer? Which computer has the main part of the modem? If your dad's is indeed the main computer then yeah that could be the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy867 Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 after using whatismyip check to see if its showing up on ASE, and what kind of connection do you have, and are you using a router from like linksys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarmyBam Posted December 23, 2003 Author Share Posted December 23, 2003 The anti virus software that my dad has on his computer will not enable to to open ports... so 29070 will not work.... i think that may be the problem Is there anyway that i can get 29070 to open?

Andy867 Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 What kind of Anti-virus software is your dad using? and is there a router involved in your connection/LAN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarmyBam Posted December 24, 2003 Author Share Posted December 24, 2003 PC-cillin is the antivirus.... i don't thiunk he use a router... i connect to his computer through a wireless network card.... his card conects into his pc through a USB port.... the broadband comes into his computer through the normal internet socket thingy in the back.... I think the only thing i need to be able to do is open 29070.... but i don't know how... Pc-cillin just doesn't let u do that (i don't think- though i have checked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine also does this on my dedicated server. But the server still doesn't show up on the master internet server list... You can only connect to my server by me giving you my public ip address. I wish I knew why this is how it is. http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=120190 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
