Others Cannot Join My Server

[Robz33]

Subject:Server problem
Problem:Everything seems to be fine, I can join it no problem, I have made accounts for the people that I want to join in Navicat. But they apparently cannot log on to my server
Additional Information: I can connect fine and everything seems to be going right but others cannot

What message do your friends get? Are the files configured for Hamachi, or not for Hamachi?

[Robz33]

not hamachi, and they said it just freezes on Connecting then says unable to connect

[Selvin]

Then there is something wrong in your config files. And this server is hostd public without Hamachi?

[Robz33]

yes it is

[Selvin]

Do you have a DynDNS? And could you post your .conf files so I could take a look at them?

[Robz33]

I don't think so...no

[Selvin]

To host your server online you need an Dynamic DNS. F.ex robz33.servegame.org...

[Robz33]

oh my apolgozies i do have that...My friend help me set up my server so i dont know all the correct terms and it is robzz.game-server.cc

[Selvin]

Oh ok. Are your realms.conf configured rightly?

[Robz33]

How are they supposed to be configured?

RealmCount = 2

Realm1.Name = "AC Web Ultimate Repack"
Realm1.Address = "24.57.53.140:8129"
Realm1.Icon = "PVP"
Realm1.Colour = 1
Realm1.Population = 0
Realm1.TimeZone = 1

Realm2.Name = "AC Web Ultimate Repack;Local"
Realm2.Address = "192.168.1.101:8129"
Realm2.Icon = "PVP"
Realm2.Colour = 1
Realm2.Population = 0
Realm2.TimeZone = 1

[Selvin]

Can you jst copy the realms.conf in here?

[Robz33]

Here is everything

It looks good! But the other computers that try to connect, what do they write in their realmlist? And are those PCs a part of your LAN?

Your hosts file, how does it look?

[Robz33]

This is my hosts file, and no they are not connected to my lan

[Robz33]

So do you know what the problem is slevin?

[[Nazzeth]]

To host your server online you need an Dynamic DNS. F.ex robz33.servegame.org...

I run my server fine without that. thats just an old-wives tail.

Are you port Forwarding correctly?

Note: Robz33 Please avoid double posting

[Robz33]

I wasnt aware that I had to forward ports, which one do i need to forward

[Noob]

How do you foward a port ?

[[Nazzeth]]

Its in the router. if you connect to your router you should find somewhere (depending on router) "Firewall" or "Port Forwarding" you must forward all the ports in your config files to your Internal IP address,

[Robz33]

About how many ports should i be forwarding, just so i can be sure, so far ive found 4 ports that i should be forwarding:
3306
8129
3724
8093

[lilnate22]

yep those are all of em

well add port 80 while ur at it

[Robz33]

if i may, what is port 80 for?
question, in my realmlist is it supposed to be 127.0.0.1 or is it supposed to be 192.168.0.101 because the ports are forwarded to the latter if the two.
I forwarded the ports and my friend still says he cant connect here is a picture of what i forwarded in case i did it wrong

Port 80 is HTTP port

Those Ip's that are 203.59.228.80 should be your external IP address. and all others can stay as 127.0.0.1

[Robz33]

So copy and paste that code into my .cfg file?

[[Nazzeth]]

Shouldn't need to, just change your IP to you external
