Server Connection Problems

[Loser]

Okay, I have read the sticky on how to set up the server and have done so. I have also set up the port forwarding and a DNS. My problem is that still I cannot connect to the server.

Some help will be much appreciated.

[tindin156]

post your serverlist.cs or try this one http://www.runuo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56860

[Asmir3]

make sure your port is 2593 and your ip is right go too http://www.ipchicken.com/ it tell you the ip and port.

Should I be able to connect to the game using my ip address? Or do I have to use 127.0.0.1?

[Asmir3]

you should be able to use both

Okay, well here is my serverlist file.

// ==================================================================================================
// ServerList.cs
// ==================================================================================================
//    	1.0 	RunUO Beta 36	Initial version
//    	1.1 	Mr Fixit	Now automaticly detects if you are connecting localy and uses the
//				servers local ip in the client serverlist.
//	1.2	Mr Fixit	Internet IP autodetection using www.whatismyip.com.
//  	1.3	Mr Fixit	If script fails to find the internet ip, keep the old one and try
//				again in # minutes.
//      1.4	Mr Fixit	You can now add AutoIP mirrors. Added whatismyip.com and myip.com.
//      1.5	Mr Fixit	Adjusted the AutoIP mirror engine so it supports more mirrors.
//				Added findmyip.com and ipaddy.com.
//      1.6	Mr Fixit	IP is now trimmed (Just in case). Added simflex.com, edpsciences.com,
//				ipid.shat.net and checkip.dyndns.org.
//      1.7     Mr Fixit        Removed www.whatismyip.com is it seems to be out of buisness.
//      1.8     Mr Fixit        Added a message to the console with ServerList.cs version when server loads.
//				Now detects the internet ip when the server starts.
//				Now checks if the ip has changed every 60 minutes instead of 30 minutes.
//      1.9     Mr Fixit        Removed noip.com mirror as it isnt working anymore.
//      2.0     Mr Fixit        Now only renews the ip every 24 hours (1440 minutes).

The no-ip is set to the ip address 69.21.139.87.
Port Forwarding is set to: 2593-2593 tcp 69.21.139.87.
And UOGateway is set to: huff.no-ip.org 2593

[Asmir3]

try this one and tell me if it works

[Loser]

Nope...here is a screen shot of when the server shows.

[TMSTKSBK]

Looks right to me...if you did modify the serverlist correctly, that should be what it shows...methinks...
(make sure you forward your router)

I did do the Port Forwarding.

[Thistle]

You have to port forward to your internal IP, the 192.168.x.x IP.

[Loser]

Where do I find my internal IP address?

[PappaSmurf]

Here's your console screen shot with the internal IP marked.

[Loser]

<--Feels really stupid. >.<

Okay, thanks.

[Loser]

Well, I just put in what the server thing said and what you highlited, but still it did not work.

[PappaSmurf]

Which IP is your no-ip pointing at?

[blackdragon911]

I had the same problem for the longest time leave everything you have donw so far as it is the attached serverlist is mrfixits serverlist 2.0 the shard name is modified all you gotta do is remove mine and put your shard name in its place the name for my shard is Alludra just remove that and place yours in then save it and drop it in your Runuo folder in place of your current serverlist.cs it should show an ip nexttime you start the server refer to the screen shot to see what im talking about that is what players should use when logging in to your server not the two addresses i found this out by accident one night i hope it helps you thanks for your time

[Tanis_moonblade]

With my shard, I have my No-IP set to a domain, not an IP address. Since I have a dynamic IP, the domain name never changes.

You can go to No-IP's website and register one there for free. And make sure your No-IP DUC is working properly.

CHeck your internal IP, and your public IP. Try the internal one first, since that one is the correct one. The public IP is because of your router. Also, in your router, make sure the TCP box is checked.

If you have any questions, let me know.

[Loser]

Okay, here it is. You can click on the pic for a direct link to the pics.

This is my server.


My Port Forwarding thing.


A pic of my ServerList.cs file.


A pic of UOGatway settings.


And finally a pic of the message I get when I try to connect.


Knock yourselves out. I can't figure out what is wrong.

[Arcanus]

That lil checkbox on that No-IP proggie you're running has to be checked

btw. Those images are way too small mate. Couldnt read em if I tried. But the checkbox was the very first thing I noticed. if it's not checked, it wont work.

[Loser]

Here I'll upload some pics.

[Loser]

Here is what the server says when I click the No-IP box. And it still does not work.

[kethoth]

i had to get a serverlist.cs that auto detected my external ip...
change the server and pubic string address

[Arcanus]

Your ports are forwarded correctly, but the ip isnt. It should be 192.168.0.4, the same as your server address. Everytime your system IP that is given by your router changes, you must update the forwarding address to reflect it. Mine tends to change now and then when I shut off my computer for anything more than a few minutes. That can be fixed also, but that's a whole new can of worms.


Everything else "looks" correct. Your serverlist.cs is correct. Make sure your no-ip program stays checked and when your system's IP changes (turned off for any length of time) you should uncheck and recheck and reboot your system. UOGateway looks good too.

You just went an opened a whole new can of worms mate.
