Router Problems

[Dovolick]

Hi,
I am new to RunUO. I have my server running smoothly on this side of my router, my wife's computer and mine can get on the game. However, others cannot join my game. I do see them creating account and trying to log in (i.e., i see their ip addresses in the runuo server window) but as soon as they click on my server name, they immediately are disconnected. I have done the port forwarding on my router (any suggestions you have might be better than what others have given). I have also put in my router's ip address in the serverlist.cs file. Is there something else I am not configuring right? If you can offer any assistance, I would greatly appreciate it. If it is too much info to post maybe you can send me a address for website that teaches this. Thanks again!

The problem does lie in the ServerList.cs file. You say you added the router's address, was that the WAN address--meaning the Internet side? You can verify the correct address here: www.whatismyip.com

Some people using cable or dsl connections will find that the providers are passing them through a mandatory proxy. This will cause the IP to be read incorrectly by whatismyipaddress.com. They will find that no-ip's DUC is more reliable.

David, I went to whatsmyip.com and this is what it displays: "Your IP is 12.222.49.60". So I put that in the area you see below. Are there other places I am suppose to put it? Thank you very much for taking the time to respond!

The following is my ServerList.cs file: hen smiley indicates where i put the address listed above.

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using Server;
using Server.Network;

namespace Server.Misc
{
public class ServerList
{
/* Address:
*
* The default setting, a value of 'null', will attempt to detect your IP address automatically:
* private const string Address = null;
*
* This detection, however, does not work for servers behind routers. If you're running behind a router, put in your IP:
* private const string Address = "12.222.49.60";
*
* If you need to resolve a DNS host name, you can do that too:
* private const string Address = "shard.host.com";
*/

public const string Address = null;

public const string ServerName = "Maddogs Lair";

public static void Initialize()
{
Listener.Port = 2593;

EventSink.ServerList += new ServerListEventHandler( EventSink_ServerList );
}

public static void EventSink_ServerList( ServerListEventArgs e )
{
try
{
IPAddress ipAddr;

if ( Resolve( Address != null && !IsLocalMachine( e.State ) ? Address : Dns.GetHostName(), out ipAddr ) )
e.AddServer( ServerName, new IPEndPoint( ipAddr, Listener.Port ) );
else
e.Rejected = true;
}
catch
{
e.Rejected = true;
}
}

public static bool Resolve( string addr, out IPAddress outValue )
{
try
{
outValue = IPAddress.Parse( addr );
return true;
}
catch
{
try
{
IPHostEntry iphe = Dns.Resolve( addr );

if ( iphe.AddressList.Length > 0 )
{
outValue = iphe.AddressList[iphe.AddressList.Length - 1];
return true;
}
}
catch
{
}
}

outValue = IPAddress.None;
return false;
}

private static bool IsLocalMachine( NetState state )
{
Socket sock = state.Socket;

IPAddress theirAddress = ((IPEndPoint)sock.RemoteEndPoint).Address;

if ( IPAddress.IsLoopback( theirAddress ) )
return true;

bool contains = false;
IPHostEntry iphe = Dns.Resolve( Dns.GetHostName() );

for ( int i = 0; !contains && i < iphe.AddressList.Length; ++i )
contains = theirAddress.Equals( iphe.AddressList[i] );

return contains;
}
}
}



Thanks again for everyone's help!

Very close, The line you edited is a comment... do the exact same thing about 6 lines down where there is no asterisk.
