Others cant connect

[Lirith]

I know this topic is old, moldy, and worn out (ive searched the forums and read all the topics on it), but i cant seem to get this to work. I cant get others to be able to connect to my test server, though i can connect to it myself. Ive enabled port forwarding on my router, turned off my firewall, put my static ip in serverlist.cs, and i dont know what else to do. I have DSL through Bellsouth using a Westell Wirespeed model 2200 modem. The modem hooks to a basic network hub then directly to my computer. port forwarding is enabled for port 2593, and here is my serverlist file

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 = "12.34.56.78";
		 * 
		 * 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 = "70.145.22.254";

		public const string ServerName = "Matts Test Server";

		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;
		}
	}
}

any help or suggestions would be Greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

thanks daat99, sorry about that

If people can't connect, it means you still need to port forward, the reason you can connect most likely is because its on the same computer.

i have set port forwarding, even had Bellsouth Tech support walk me through it, but it still doesnt work for some reason. i can post snapshots of the pages if youd like.

Did you port forward to the correct ip...

[Lirith]

yes, its forwarding to my ip.

Are you sure, why don't you give us a screenshot, then do an "ipconfig" on the server machine and post that.

[Lirith]

Better? the url brings up full size

[Phantom]

You need to post the screen shot of your port foward, that shows which ip its being forward to.

[Thistle]

Is your external IP static?

Have you tried using Mr. FixIt's serverlist?

Do NETBIOS names work for your router? What IP address does it think is assigned to "MattsComp"?

[Lirith]

the white screenshot displays the port forwarding, click it to bring up a bigger image of it for details. the ip for the modem, which i assume is the external ip, is static, yes. honestly, i dont know anything about NETBIOS names so i dont know if they work for my router or not. the computer is operating with ip 192.168.1.97, the router has a static ip of 70.145.22.254 (which is the one in the serverlist script). ive even tried using ip passthrough which assigned this computer directly to the same ip as the router, to no result. If it would be easier to contact me, my yahoo messenger nickname is Gareth_Lore and my msn is Gareth_Lore@hotmail.com so i can be contacted on either messenger program.
