Port Opening

[tindo]

Well, that was the solution for the last guy that posted, but perhaps not for the OP. I have trouble believing its the Serverlist in this case since the server is responding with the name of the shard when I connect.

Yes, firewall should block the first connection as well. But to make sure I suggest disable it or move RunUO to the host without it. What RunUO version does he use?

 

[tindo]

He is using 2.3 which is why he is using that older client. I was talking to him about using 2.4 and the latest client and he may try that next.

He wanted an old school shard and wasn't aware you can use the latest client and still make it an old school shard with the CurrentExpansion changes. So that might be his next option.

In short tho, i did take ALL your advice and now i have one little hickup that i'm sure you would know the answer too

Hi, I am having a similar problem to this about the port forwarding. If you get it resolved could you please post what you did. Thanks

 

[tindo]

His ended up not being a port issue, what is yours doing?

 

[Sgtclark]

Not connecting from outside my house. I have RunUO 2.4 running Client version 7.0.9 SA. I can connect and play fine from inside my lan at my house but the problem is getting outside connections. My goal honestly is to only have 3-4 people play my server.

Sorry I'm currently at work. but I have read several threads about this and I am not very computer knowledgeable so its difficult for me. But i believe I have everything done correctly just not sure exactly what is the problem.

When you get home, go to http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and check to see if port 2593 can be seen from the outside. Make sure your server is running when you do this test.

I have done that also and it wont pick my server up
This is how my router is setup (if it matters) Wall-Linksys Router-Wireless Router

 

[Sgtclark]

Also i have disabled the firewall on my computer and still cant get that web site to pick up my address

Is your server connected directly to the router or are you using the wireless?

 

[Sgtclark]

using the wireless. I connected straight to the router last night on my latptop and could still not get connect using that web site

 

[Sgtclark]

Dont think it matters for this but my UO version is 7.0.3 btw not 7.0.9 lol sorry..

 

[tindo]

I never recommend wireless for a server. When you connected directly, did you connect to the first router or the second one?

Have you set port forwarding on the router? The reason I say to connect to a single router instead of behind two is the port forwarding is a lot more complicated behind two routers.

 

[Sgtclark]

I connected straight to the router (first one) i unplugged the wireless one

 

[Sgtclark]

Basically I did this. RunUO 2.4, Serlist points to my "Whats my IP address" my UO Login file points to my computers IP adresss "192.168.2.101,2593". My router is set to forward port 2593 to 192.168.2.101.. The connecting computer puts my "whats my IP" address into login folder and uses 192.168.2.101, 2593 in Razor to connect. but when they boot up client just freezes.

 

[tindo]

Ok, the connecting computer should not be using your 192.168.2.101 ip address in Razor unless he is inside your network. He should be putting your outside IP address (the one from whats my ip) and port 2593.

 

[Sgtclark]

ah ok. will give that a shot. Thanks for the help by the way I really appreciate it
