princessa Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 I decided to start a topic as I don't know if it'll be answered in that 'old' topic. I started a dedicated server. My computer runs it fine. I get on game(any server including the dedicated one) and it runs fine. But I gave the IP and port to a friend and he couldn't see the server. I don't know what I did wrong. It won't let people connect to it. I use port 29070 for the server....I'm not sure if that's the reason it's not working. the port used to be 21000 for reasons I don't even know but I changed it. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks edit: my boyfriend's computer is connected to the same router...he opened a port on the router and it still didn't allow people to connect...not even him on his computer. The router is linksys wireless g with speed booster...not sure if that helps.
jedi-Guard Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Try not to open the port, but try to forward the port from the router to the server.
princessa Posted November 2, 2006 Author Posted November 2, 2006 My boyfriend is computer geek lol....so he opened up some ports...and I think it's working....he can see the server up when I have it on...so hopefully others do too ...thanks for replying
princessa Posted November 2, 2006 Author Posted November 2, 2006 alright...just tried to have someone connect and they couldn't see the server as online....when I go into my game I see it in the internet list...the local list and I added it to my favorites...so I see it as online....I opened up ports 29060-29071 maybe I need to open more? idk
jedi-Guard Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 You might need something more. You need public ip number or Forward ports to the internal ip number.
