Friends can't connect

[Malaperth]

You have something set up strangely in your router it seems as it is not assigning an ip in a manner that I am used to seeing, or your router is the dsl modem also.

 

[redhead]

yah i think it is the dsl modem also

 

[Malaperth]

Then all you should have to do is forward port 2593 from the modem/router to 172.16.1.35.

 

[redhead]

ok i will try that

 

[redhead]

tried it and still doesn't work.

 

[Malaperth]

What IP does canyouseeme.org say you have?

 

[redhead]

when people try and log on it doesn't even show up on the runuo so wat should i unblock on my firewall?

 

[Malaperth]

First, you need to know your real wan IP address. Then you have to figure out for sure if you need to forward any ports.

Canyouseeme.org says my ip is 70.130.46.226

 

[Malaperth]

What sort of a network are you attached to so that your machine somehow comes up with an ip of 172.16.1.35???

 

[redhead]

i am not really in a network at all. here is wat is goign on. i have dsl. i have a router/modem. i have a desktop computer and a laptop. the desktop computer is connected to the router with an ethernet cord. adn the laptop is connected wirelessly. all the router is for is to get on the internet. the computers arn't connected

 

[Malaperth]

So both computers are connected to the wireless router, it just happens that one is connected by cat5 and the other is connected by a wireless card? And the ONLY thing connected to your dsl modem is the router?

 

[redhead]

Yes i am pretty sure that is it

 

[Malaperth]

"pretty sure" does not allow a connection I am not there, so YOU have to know what equipment YOU have...

 

[Setharnas]

Mal, just a little something: 172.16.x.x is to class B networks what 192.168.x.x is to class C networks - reserved for private use. Also, that might be what Darksoarer was referring to in this Post.

Good read on this: Wikipedia article

Redhead i am encountering the exact same problem as you, i have done everything that you were told to do in this forum and none it if worked

 

[jumpnjahosofat]

Redhead, make this change in your serverlist.cs and try again.

Change:

public static readonly string Address = "70.130.46.226";

to

private const string Address = "70.130.46.226";

I Think its a Firewall issue

 

[jumpnjahosofat]

If your problem is a firewall issue, just allow that port to be opened for use in your firelwall settings. All firewalls are different, so you would probably need to look in the help section about your firewall on how to do this.

 

[Darksoarer]

well the firewall for my network is on a seperate computer that i do not have access to
